I live in the NW, and we had an outage in that same time slot.
The explanation to the best of my knowledge is that there are too many people using electricity which means there is an increase in the amount of current that is drawn, which in turns makes power lines sag. This makes the lines vulnerable to a fault.
Dan, Kevin, am I on the right track?
