status.cloud.google.com now shows an actual incident thread (not just a note). The only new info is that it affects the us-central1 region, but it says we can expect an update by 21:00 UTC.
Thanks everyone for providing real-time information. It's unnerving when an entire SQL server disappears from your control panel:-). I'd rather not have to restore everything from backups, if it's all the same!
