PEPCO and Virginia Power reported about 10,000 customers without power this morning due to the storms moving through the area. There are lots of Internet functions concentrated in Fairfax, Herndon, Vienna, the District of Columbia; all areas with some power outages. Overall it appears providers are doing a better job of keeping stuff running. I didn't see any 'important' services go down. Maybe ISPs have finally got it? Then again maybe not. There is a fiber cut in Herndon, VA. -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation
