Power outage that lasted several hours

Today at about 3:30pm the power transformer supplying power to the weather station lost all of it's oil and blew the fuse on the utility poll. Took Seattle City Light until about 7:15pm to get the transformer replaced and restore power. The backup battery powered the weather station and the computer running it until 4:30pm. All weather data between 4:30pm and 7:15pm was never collected. No measurable precipitation fell during this time frame.
