IRC. (with people who lived out of colos in Lower Manhattan after 9/11, since if they left the area they wouldn't have been allowed back in -- living off vending machine food for a week or two reconfiguring equipment for themselves and other networks to account for the missing part of the city)

Also, woo, no more 111 8th. Building power is down for most of the building (all of it?) (per floor), although some of the areas have their own generators (Level(3) and the old AboveNet area)

The biggest problem is that the basements where the fuel is stored are flooding, which is taking out the pumps to get the fuel to the generators!

Was just listening in on FDNY radio scanner and they mentioned oil/diesel floating down the street in water.

Hearsay says that all of 111 8th was taken down voluntarily to prevent damage from flooding.
