It appears that UC Berkeley has been off line for the majority of the day. AS 25 disappeared sometime earlier today. Anyone with some knowledge out there?
"Flood in Berkeley, fixed in a couple hours" is what the UC Davis NOC told me at 12:30pm PDT.

indeed. a contractor pierced a 200psi 12inch water main; causing a lot of water to be sprayed in the same location as one of the campus power distribution units. a transformer short-circuited and blew; i've been told that the flash from the arc was visible on the other side of the closed door, even with the overhead lights on. we lost the transformer, but there was sufficient capacity at the site that campus electricians were able to bring evans hall, where our external con- nections are located, back online at approximately 4pm, after roughly 7 hours total outage. as far as i know, we lost no equipment other than the trans- former itself. we've heard several reports that "email is slow." :-} ucdavis's connectivity is through evans hall, ucb. ken lindahl ucberkeley
