Telephones Out US West Coast?

["Armond Perretta" <newsgroupreader@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This morning my NextAlarm service was out for about 6 or 7 hours.  Neither
my alarm nor my regular service could get through.  Later they came back up
with the story that telephone and Internet service was disrupted on the West
Coast and that the outage was beyond their control.

This sounds like nonsense.  First, the "Internet" cannot be "out" in any
particular region.  It's just doesn't function like that.  Second, I cannot
find a single mention of a disruption of telephone service in the US for
this morning.
