Think your Super Bowl Sunday went sour? Try being a resident of Coachella Valley at kickoff time. According to The Desert Sun,

Time Warner Cable is reporting a sustained outage in the cities of Twentynine Palms , Yucca Valley, and Barstow.

Officials have not said what caused the outages, but according to a recorded message at Time Warner offices, engineers are "aware of the problem" and there is "no estimated time of repair."

Super Bowl XLII, featuring the undefeated New England Patriots and the New York Giants, has just kicked off and the Giants have won the coin toss.

Not sure if it came back on in time for the unlucky folks; reports now are at an estimated 5200 customers.
