West Peak Outages

At 11:59am today (12/3) utility power went out on West Peak. WZMX, WMRQ and WNPR went off for a few seconds while their generators kicked in, WKSS was off for perhaps 15 min. WWYZ came back on initially at low power after about 45 min and WHCN a few min later, analog only. WDRC-FM was off for the duration of the outage, over 90 min!
 
What about 98.5 Bomba, 96.1 Kool Radio, and the WATR translator on 97.7? Both Kool Radio and WATR run Italian programming on Sundays.
I was up in Springfield when the outage happened and out of the coverage area of those three translators. Would assume that at least some were off as they share the generators of full power stations.
 
Does WDRC-FM being off the air start to finish indicate that the power outage has been traced to that station's property at the site?
