Do typhoons/hurricanes tend to damage cables in shallow water near the landing sites, tear up the landing sites themselves, or do damage in deeper water somehow? On Wed, Aug 12, 2009 at 10:54 AM, Ethern M., Lin <ethern@ascc.net> wrote:
Update:
The submarine cable down first is EAC since 8/9. FNAL down today(8/12). The cause might be typhone Morakot. Hongkong seems the most critical impact by these cable down.
cheers, Ethern

I just chatted to my contact in SG (over Instant Messenger) who said they barely even noticed a problem. The provider is Star Hub.

At that time the cause was a cable fault somewhere in/near Japan, but at this stage I'm not sure if this is the same problem or not.
Now confirmed that APCN2, C2C and EAC are cut. also unconfirmed reports of SMW2 and SWM3 are out. FLAG and TGN seems to be not had any issues so far.
It seems at this point, the fault is more on the South China Sea and the alarms I got seem to confirm that. For the geography, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:South_China_Sea.jpg
Circuits from Japan to SG, TH, PH are down, but not to HK. My perspective, yours may vary.
