Cellar outage probability

Seeing as how the eye of the storm will be traveling over where the Cellar is, it's a 50-50 chance there will be some kind of outage, starting about Monday afternoon until Tuesday night.

The last time there was a power outage at the Cellar's co-location, they had enough diesel fuel to last through it and there was zero down-time. This time there's a chance the power will be out of an extended period, so who knows what will happen.

I'm counting on losing my power Monday night and it will be interesting to see whether the cell towers maintain.

Our were out for a couple days during the direchio. Crazy. The wind was done, and things were calm, and our power was out, but the towers worked. And then the next morning, the towers were down.

I'm counting on the power being out and the towers going down.
