Apparently, affected stations are running from backup facilities.

Not so lucky would be any datacenter customers.   According to what I
have found the emergency generators were "fried" because they got
sprayed by fire sprinklers.   If that's true, that's a pretty
hair-brained setup.

We noticed because our main credit card processing company,
Authorize.net, is located in the datacenter there.  They are now
approaching 12 hours of downtime.   Ask any of their customers how much
they enjoy not processing payments going into a holiday weekend.

So... how is YOUR backup plan?   How are you set for disaster recovery?
