Power Failure-Cable TV Won't Work?

So I'm currently living in a dorm room, and my tv is hooked up to the campus cable system. A couple of minutes ago, the power went off and turned back on right away, and I was watching tv during this. Now the power is working but the cable is not, all the channels are nothing but static.I've tried resetting my tv, but I'm wondering what else I could do. Other tvs hooked up to cable in my dorm aren't working either, so is there something wrong with the entire cable system?

Answer:

Yes, there has to be a problem in the cable system.
Yes, there is. Probably either a fuse blew cutting power to the distribution amplifier or the DA itself failed due to surges surrounding the power failure.
