Service interruption

   Yesterday, our service provider sent out this message:

     This evening at 4:55 in our H1 data center, electrical gear shorted,
     creating an explosion and fire that knocked down three walls
     surrounding our electrical equipment room Thankfully, no one was
     injured. In addition, no customer servers were damaged or lost.

     We have just been allowed into the building to physically inspect
     the damage. Early indications are that the short was in a
     high-volume wire conduit. We were not allowed to activate our backup
     generator plan based on instructions from the fire department.

   Today they sent an update indicating that they hope to have initial
   power restored some time this evening. Of course, the first thing that
   will get powered is the air conditioning, which has to bring the
   temperature under control before they can power on the servers.

   I'll post more updates as they become available.
