I have no idea how much power disruption would be needed to cause that amount 
of change in the power distribution, but I see that there is a few MW of solar 
generation in that general quadrant of the state.  I don't know if the shadow 
traversing the solar generation plants could explain the behavior, but would 
probably be the first easy answer I would look for.
