Comcast Rolling Outages

Rolling power outages in the Chicago area are very uncommon. Usually it's due to a failure of something and not a planned load shed, but even then, it's uncommon any time there isn't physical damage from a storm.

Mike - There are a lot of rolling power outages. 
Thus the reason for the overheating most likely as gear, while on battery backup, generally lacks the cooling capacity. 

Horizon, Comcast, Wow/Breezeway apparently are doing the same across the Columbus Marketing in Ohio as well.

I recently saw this on Facebook: 

BREAKING: Some Xfinity/Comcast users are getting a message in the Chicago and Springfield, Illinois markets that they are shutting down Internet service until 11:15 PM this evening due to overheating equipment... 
Update: some areas are doing rolling outages. 

Are rolling outages due to heat something common for ISPs to do? I've never heard of it for any of the hundreds of ISPs I've talked to.
