CenturyLink Outage?

Tue May 7 17:26:10 UTC 2013

Widely discussed on outages at outages.org list (hint!) but for those not yet list members over there, 13 or more states in southeast US affected, reportedly routing / layer 3 issue, possibly BGP to outside but not clear.  Some service restorations discussed.
