There is a power outage in San Francisco affecting a large area South of Market Street, including China Basin. The outage begain shortly after 12:00am PST Wednesday and was caused by flooding of an underground PG&E transformer. Current estimated restoral of power by PG&E is around 6:00pm Wednesday. (Prior estimates were for 12:00 noon). Whole Earth Networks has was down all night. We've been coming up slowly as we pull in power feeds from mobile generators. The China Basin complex where we are located has been quite a scene, with cables running out the to roof and down the side of the building to generators running in the courtyard below. There's been alot of cooperation amoungst providers with Sprint and TCG sharing spare power capacity on the generators and pulling wires to other providers in the building. MFS has also been helping their customers with power restoral. MCI has a big mobile generator in the courtyard as well. The power for the emergency lighting in the complex (multiple 6 story buildings) lasted only a few hours and we're all running around in the halls with flashlights. A big lesson to be learned by all. Rumor has it that we now have approval now for the purchase of our own generator. Rob
