Several realms down for an hour

Blizz have been pretty good about downtime recently, mostly sticking to their week-on week-off maintenance schedule. However, no massive data empire can be perfect; it looks like some realms are going to be down for just a bit this afternoon. I just logged on to find the following text in the "Breaking News" box:[May 8, 2007 3:30 PM PDT]
We're bringing the following realms down to address a database issue which has arisen. We expect downtime for these realms to last no more than an hour and will provide updates on the issue, should any extension of downtime be required. We apologize for the short notice and will work as quickly as we can to minimize the interruption.

Yes they gave us a 15 min warning, which turned into a 15 sec one in less than a min. In fact I never even saw the warning as I was busy organizing my bank at the time. But my guildies did and they commented on it.
