we had a loss of comercial power(coned) in the downers grove terminal. terminal is up on generator power now.
that seems to map to the internal firedrill as well, anyone else hit by this event?
Electric utility had a sub-station burn up. resulting in a medium-sized geographic area without power -- something like 17,000 residences according to news reports (no numbers on 'commercial' custeomrs provided).
AT&T has a facility in the affected area, and were also without utility power.
Rumor mill says that Sprint had a (moderately small) number of T-3 circuits affected, as well.
ATT must adhere to some diffrent engineering standards; as well devices we monitor there were all fine no blips... but all of the MCI customers we have in IL, MI, WI, MN all had issues... Power went out at 4:30 ish and ckts all dumped about 8:30 pm... Then bounced until 6:30 AM this morning. Not sure I understand how on earth something like this happens... power is not that confusing to make sure it does not stop working. JD
