Power outages in Washington affect White House, government buildings
Power outages are quite common in third world countries
Scattered outages in the US capital on Tuesday cut power to several government buildings, including the White House, State Department, Capitol and Justice Department.

The State Department's daily news briefing was suspended after power was lost. A department announcement said the main building and other nearby buildings were affected because electricity feeders were down.
Sending everyone home for the day undoubtedly saved us millions.
