LOS ANGELES -- A powerful windstorm that swept through the US state of Colorado last week disrupted the power supply to more than a dozen atomic clocks responsible for maintaining the US official time ...

Power shut off across Colorado last week as hurricane-force winds swept across the state. In Boulder, one of those outages caused time to briefly stand still.

Officials said the error is likely too minute for the general public to clock it, but it could affect applications such as critical infrastructure, telecommunications and GPS signals.

Due to the power outage, time (very) briefly stood still at the NIST Internet Time Service facility in Boulder.
