They say power was cut to the whole building. A post on webhostingtalk says only their suite and one below.
That's incorrect unless the rest of us are running on generators now. We are on the 7th floor. We are partially up, therefore clearly power was not entirely cut to the whole building. The "one below" may refer to their 7th floor suite, not sure.
BTW, we're glad to help out those affected in any way we can...feel free to contact me off-list.
Yeah, I didn't really believe their "whole building" claim; high rise fires usually only result in specific floors/areas being cut and alerting one above and one below. Since this seems to be a fire-on-the-floor issue (aren't these relatively rare?) vs. utility vault, I'd be very interested to know what kind of fire suppression was in place and how effective it was. As I check now they've redacted the whole building claim and are now saying 7th and 8th floors. ~Seth
