SL Grid Trouble - Avatars in the Mist

I logged into Second Life at about 8:30 PM SL time on Monday evening. I appeared as a wisp as first, which was no surprise. What was a surprise was finding everything but me was rezzing. I was still a ghost. Seeing some friends were online, I IMed a couple. I got no response.
Then I got a group IM, saying Second Life was suffering "split servers" and some people would not be able to reach certain others in IMs, "Group IMS still work, though."
Meeting up with four friends, three where ghosted as well. The fourth, who had a male avatar on, had been ruthed and was feminized. One saw me not as a ghost, but as ruthed as well, "nice breasts Bix."
Looking at the Grid Status reports:

[8:45PM Pacific] Many residents have reported that their clothing are not loading and they are seeing others as white clouds. There are also some other issues such as some regions down, inventory not loading and search not working. We are aware of these problems and are working to fix these issues as soon as possible.[8:09PM Pacific] Please be aware that some residents are also experiencing issues with teleporting. We will update this blog as soon as we have more news.
[7:32PM Pacific] SL is experiencing some network difficulties. Some residents have reported problems with loggin in. Please avoid conducting inworld transactions and purchasing lindens for the time being. We will update this space with details as soon as we get them.

There was nothing left for us to do but to log off SL and hope things were better the next day.
