Sunnydale link to the L.A. Darkness

Some of the rumours surrounding the explosion of Sunnydale High claim that the sky went dark, just before the explosion. People have linked this event to the infamous "L.A. Darkness" that happened four years later.

Sunnydale became dark for about 5 minutes (acording to reports) and then the school exploded. L.A. was dark for several days, and then Sunnydale imploded. Was there a connection?
