It never fails. Always when you have a day off.....

[LordRaiden]

Just freaking perfect. Today is my day off (only one in the last month) and the power just went out in the building and the NOC is on generator thanks to a nasty storm that just went through. (Radar Pic) Regardless if all is fine or not I'm required to be here until the Noc is back up on regular power. The power company has no ETA on when that will be. *sigh*

Well, at least all of our computers in the IT department are up and running on generator as well. The rest of the building isn't, but ours certainly is. I'm curious how long it will be till power is back. Oh well, at least it's quiet now. Too bad it won't be once the power comes back up. Last time it went down we spent nearly 2 days answering support requests from people who were working on stuff and didn't save, or their computer got hosed by the power going down. *sigh*

Eh, no biggy. Such is being in IT.

Woh, we could be here a while, second wave of storms is hitting and it's storming like a MF right now. Trees are whipping around like a bunch of limp noodles!! Woh......sweet. I love these kinda storms.

(*returns to fragging while watching all the cool lightning outside*) What? Not like we can do much else till the power is back anyways. Well at least in the rest of the building anyways.

Where are you in Michigan? A storm just went thorugh here by MSU.

Yep same with me (im in Lansing) All the T1 lines went down for about 5 min, but evrethgn is back to normal now.

 

[ScottyB]

Off to take my exam. I am in the library now. My bicycle seat is going to be wet

 

[Mr N8]

I'm straight across the lake from you. Another storm should be headed your way in a few hours. Enjoy.

Anyone know if these storms are on their way to the Cleveland area?

 

[LordRaiden]

Yeah, they should be. They're on that angle.

Scottyb, we're just south of Olivet near I-69. That storm did some perty good damage around here. Looks like a freaking hurricane came through. Tore limbs off trees and everything. Our building seems fine except we still have no power.

 

[LordRaiden]

Sh*t, spoke too soon. Power came back up just as I clicked submit.

EDIT: Ok, it's back off. Must be they're still working on it. Hmm.

HAHA. That's cool. Never had that happen here, but I wouldn't put it past nature to come rambling through here with a twister some day.

We've been missed by the last 4 or so by no more than 2 miles. We're due to get hit eventually.
