So I get an email about people not being aware that technology ages and needs to be replaced regularly, and I reply 15 minutes after receiving this email, about how tech needs to be refreshed regularly.
And 5 minutes after that the wind knocks out the power.
In other words: all your gear rebooted ?
There's rebooting, and there's rebooting

Only some of it, not my production servers as they have a separate UPS.

Wind you say?

My dad just told me that he saw a semi get blown over and blown down Route 63 near the NTG HQ.
-
for anyone that cannot see it.. that green house is nearly 3 feet off from where it was.

Dad said that they hit 70 mph in NY.
-
confirmed 50+ gusts here, the news said this morning.
-
Talk about getting blown away...

@dafyre third day in a row here.

Also, it moved more.

And right after I posted that a huge gust lifted it up and put it back.

On a side topic, how much did that cost?
-
We have power here, but there are folks to the north, to the east, and to the west of us without power. The 2 main suppliers are saying 96,000 and 70,000 each, citing customers without power this morning. At 9am they will begin assessment and repair, and have teams coming from out of state to assist. We're hearing estimates of 2-4 days until full restoration is complete.

@art_of_shred That sucks. I was without power for 14 days when Sandy hit. Never knew how far gone my internet addiction was until that happened

I have entered the 21st century now... I now have an IoT thingy in my house (Nest thermostat)... Let the hacking begin!
