It'll be interesting to see what kind of outages this causes; for one thing, Sean's power may go out.
If power goes out in the NOC and there's nobody around to monitor it....
http://www.caiso.com/awe/systemstatus.html is pretty interesting reading at this point; so is CAISO document E-509, at the bottom of http://www.caiso.com/thegrid/operations/opsdoc/emergency/ , which describes what a "No Touch Day" actually is. I'm beginning to see how Sean gets so much inside info; all it takes is to post to NANOG a bit, and people tell you all sorts of things. For example, someone from Exodus just told me that they "haven't yet made any changes." One would hope that this is because they have more than 90 minutes of backup power. Some of the downtown San Jose office space (such as the Bank of America building) is being "quiesced" for the rest of the day, because it is deemed non-critical. -- J.D.
