Our power was out on Mercer Island for about 12 hours.  No problems with
any of our systems (that I've found yet).  I had lots of time on the UPS
batteries to shut things down when the power went out so even our old
systems running ext2 weren't affected.  A couple of Macs running OS X
weren't on UPS power, and they just came up normally although they had to
wait a while for the DHCP server to be started before their network
interfaces were configured.
