My site in the city is on Generator power which should be good for another 8 hours before it switches over to battery backup which will be good for another 2. I took off today so the unlucky guys who work for me will have a fun job with the servers and systems there tonight if it looks like we need to power them down. (if the power outage outlasts our gen and batteries that is)

[Nysbadmk8]

dam... on the radio last night they said 99% of the new jerseyians had power... you got screwed steve!

 

[Splat]

Power went out here at about 4:20PM and didn’t come back on until 11:30AM today.

Last report I heard was it was all caused by some little spark somewhere around Syracuse.

Just playing catchup now, caffeine deprived so don’t bug me. ;-)

 

[Nysbadmk8]

we keep hearing that the spark was on the canuck side of stuff.... i really couldnt care less as long as it never happens again... in 9 second 50 million lose power... im sure a few people got some nice ideas how to screw us now

I don't know Steve, but we were told that Bloomfield was the LAST town in Essex county (23 towns) to be restored with power, and that was at 10:45 PM. Why did it take Kearney so long? You're just over the boundry....
