Blizzard has just announced that a facility where some WoW realms' servers are located will be undergoing a power system upgrade tomorrow, September 4th, from 8 AM Pacific to approximately 6 PM Pacific.
They do not expect the upgrade to have any effect on the realms in question, and they say that they will be working to make sure everything goes smoothly. Of course, the unspoken follow-up here is that there just might be some issues. If you play on any of the realms listed after the break, you might want keep in mind that you may encounter some choppy waters tomorrow, and possibly a full shutdown.

Every single one of them just went down, 7 hours after this maintenance was supposed to end

Experienced some serious lag on Drenden for a few minutes around 12:35am Pacific, then kaput. I see that all of the above realms are now down, in addition to Antonidas. The curse of the the unspoken follow-up! :)
