Tornado touched down here.

As if the day wasn't interesting enough.

Power went out, our generator kicked on and then it shut off after about a minute. Now I gotta get it fixed. UPS's held up fine.

Still lots of damage reports coming in, one reported death, other people missing in a nearby town - trucks rolled off a highway.

let me guess, no one bothered to check/cycle the diesel tank?

I've gone through 2 tornado's. Interesting stuff.
One when I was in HS and it touched down about 100 yards past the school.
The other was through my parents backyard, but never touched down (took all the tops off the trees).

I have no idea.

We had a power outage a few months ago and it worked fine.

There was an "Air Dampner" I think error on the control panel as well as an Auxilliary Fault.

I'm curious if it could get enough air with the way the weather and wind was blowing around.

So did you tell the really cute girl in accounting that the safest place in the building was the server closet?

On the panel in the server room at my last job, there was an alarm that would automatically trip when the weekly generator test took place. Shrill, annoying ah heck, too.
