First, I hope everyone is doing OK out there. I experienced a good deal of the surreality of CA's complex ecosystem when I lived there a while back, and I know things can be pretty scary. Secondly, anyone have any outage-related news for network traffic in San Diego, San Bernardino, Ventura, Orange, or LA counties? Peace, and water, Andy --- Andy Grosser, CCNP andy@meniscus.org ---

Besides SBC claiming that they can't provide support service to their DSL customers in Northern California due to the Southern California wildfires, no. John (Happily, not an SBC DSL customer)

I thought they were blaming that on sunspots. :-) somewhat smoky skies in Santa Barbara, much worse in Ventura. UPSes are beeping and lights flickering a bit more often than usual. Otherwise no real network impact here. -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Administration - jay@west.net WestNet: Connecting you to the planet. 805 884-6323 WB6RDV NetLojix Communications, Inc. - http://www.netlojix.com/

California electric grid operators are reporting 70,000 to 80,000 customers are without power due to the fires in Southern California. The 500Kva Southwest Power Link between Arizon and San Diego tripped on Monday. Two 775-megawatt plants in Ventura County also tripped; one plant has been restored. Several other transmission lines have been intermittant due to the fires. The FAA's Southern California Terminal Radar Approach Control on Miramar Air Station near San Diego was evacuated due to nearby fires on Monday. Althought several people have pointed out various Internet related facilities and organizations are in the region, as far as I know none have been significantly impacted by the fires.

13 people killed, 300,000+ acres burned, 700 homes destroyed. Four counties have been declared major disaster areas, including Los Angeles, San Bernardino, San Diego and Venture counties. Earthlink/Mindspring and SBC/PacificBell are reporting local access outages on their respective public network status webpages. I expect there are similar local access issues for other networ providers in the region although they aren't reporting them on their public network status pages. I used to have the UCSD network status page, but they seem to have moved it. There have not been any reports of backbone circuit problems in or out of the region by any network providers of which I'm aware.

Thanks for the thoughts. It was a hairy weekend around here. I've heard from numerous local ISPs (mostly of the DSL/dialup variety) reporting that trunks to a large number of affected neighborhoods are completely offline, presumably due to either the widespread power outages or the consumption of physical infrastructure by the intense flames.
