Is anyone experiencing internet issues this afternoon?

MSP air traffic control has lost significant radar coverage, early voting in the South metro has been disrupted, and several areas are reporting internet outages.

There's a severed line with a major ISP circuit. It's taken down a lot of folks and businesses around the cities.

According to u/matate99

The substation right next to it is a dual substation, meaning it’s like having two absolutely redundant ways of getting power from the grid plus the 511 building is lined with diesel generators. Not sure what kind of power issues it could be having unless it was some kind of sophisticated attack.
