Server Downtime - July 23rd, 2010 - Power Failure
There was some unexpected downtime tonight due to a power failure in Northern NJ. There was a tornado rolling on through the region which caused some pretty evil rain and lightning. Thankfully, the tornado did not touch down, but it did manage to kick out the power around 8:15 EST. So, naturally, with no power, no server. However, thanks to the UPS, I was able to gracefully shut down the server and the disk array, so there was no loss of data.
The power came back around 9:15, and Delorean is humming along, happy as ever. Sorry for the trouble!
