 What's going on with Google

Does anyone have the real answer as to why numerous sites that were in the top 10 for certain words on Google as of Sunday are no where to be found, but still indexed? I was #1 for my top four keywords and many others were in the same position for different words. We made no changes to our site and don't do anything unethical. Is it true that Google is just working out a new indexing or is this a permanent result? The google message board does not clear things up.

Thanks,
Mike
