https://poweroutage.us/ is up and handy. Found out why our VPN in the Americas was down. -- Joe Hamelin, W7COM, Tulalip, WA, +1 (360) 474-7474 On Mon, Feb 15, 2021 at 12:49 PM Andy Ringsmuth via Outages < outages@outages.org> wrote:
Well, electricity too in many places, but their web site:
is also down. As recent (within the last hour) news reports have indicated, the Southwest Power Pool, which manages electricity supply for more than 14 states, is experiencing insane demand due to the equally insane cold temperatures across the United States. They are working with their member organizations/power companies to implement rolling blackouts in an effort to preserve the entire electricity grid.
Wouldn’t surprise me if their site was down simply because millions of people in affected areas tried to look them up. Just a hunch though.
