Although I just turned in a Project 2671 WU and got a new one, this is
the latest on a power outage at Stanford from fah-addict.net:

As of 13:20 UTC today (5:20 Stanford time), many of the Folding@Home
servers have gone offline, following a major power outage. The power
plant that supplies the campus - Stanford Cogen - has failed, leaving
the campus on emergency power only.

The backup generators have taken over, but some Folding@Home servers
remain unpowered, and others that are still active could be powered down
if the server rooms become too hot (the air conditioning systems are not
completely powered by the emergency generators).

There is currently no estimate on when full power will be restored, but
we will keep you up-to-date and report as soon as new information
becomes available.

You can check the status of individual servers on the Server Status
page. Don't be surprised if you are unable to return results to the
servers or if you have trouble retrieving WUs.

Right now, 21 servers are down or offline.
