Our servers are located in colorado.  And we have been warned that the weather forcast for tomorrow calls for high winds.  The power company is thinking that they might shut down power for several hours for safety reasons.

Our servers have backup power systems, but, it is likely that some part of the internet that we use won't be as resilient.  

This is just a heads up in case you come to permies tomorrow afternoon and we are not here!

Xcel is cutting off my power in 15 min.  Guess I live near the servers!

I'm in Montana and the winds hit here. Exciting!  Power is out.

Sounds like most of western montana has no power and strong wind.

I can confirm it's VERY windy in Colorado. A gust of wind just nearly knocked me over.
