Power Outage Still Causing Problems

Oh! by the way there is a major power outage going on! Our area lost power for about 4 hours last night. Power is back on here and we seem to be OK. However, many parts of the Northeast are not as lucky. It appears several major areas will be without power for some time to come.

Our office has full power and Internet access. However, the Internet itself is limping along. Our e-mail and web hosting company is up and running but the T1 lines going to them are not. Therefore websites and e-mail postoffices are not working. As of 5:00am a telco crew was on-site and we are hopeful they will correct the problem(s) soon.

This is the same for many sites on the Internet. I would expect that Internet e-mail will be spotty at best today. You may see no problems or you might be totally down depending on where your particular connection gets routed through.

This will be the same for phone calls. If you are calling someone in New York City you may not get through!

All I can say is this has been a tough week. TGIF
