Could it have been a simple case of a spike on mains power?
I suppose, but there were no messages from my UPS which
generally whines about stuff like that. Maybe it was
a test of an alien EMP device :-).

I guess I'll see if it happens again, or was just a one time thing.

I have more problems from sags than spikes.  That is why I use at line conditioners (like Tripp Lite LC line) or UPS with line conditioning (prevents constant switching to batteries when a sag drops the voltage below 90v).  Notebooks tend not to be affected too much, but switches and APs reset.  The utility (DTE) says I am 'within specs', but you can see incandescent bulbs dim when anything heavy comes on line.  And my kill-a-watt reports the voltage drops.

I had a wireless extender plugged directly into a regular surge protector, and my notebook would regularly drop its WiFi connection then have to reassociate and release its address.  I had to get a LC just for the one device.
