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.
Any photos on the web?
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.
Any possibilty to write up a case study to help other people plan for how to deal with this kind of an emergency? Michael Dillon - Internet & ISP Consulting Memra Software Inc. - Fax: +1-250-546-3049 http://www.memra.com - E-mail: michael@memra.com
