We felt it pretty good here in San Luis Obispo. Listening to local public service radio reports it sounds like mostly chimneys and minor gas leaks and structure damage to older buildings. An air conditioning unit on the roof of the Bank of America downtown was smoking just a few minutes ago and was handled by city FD with no problems. Damage to the north of us in Paso Robles is the real deal, collapsed buildings and all, fatalities according to CNN. This is probably what you're seeing on news reports. Here in San Luis Obispo cell phones became immediately useless, presumably due to high call volumes. We (AS 12273) had no wireline telco outages at all, and our colo provider (AS 14589 across town also in San Luis Obispo) went unscathed as well. Power was unstable for a few minutes but only very small parts of the city lost power for more than a few minutes, nothing the UPSes couldn't handle. -- -Will :: AD6XL Orton :: http://www.loopfree.net/
