Your subject line looks like a quote from "Back to the Future". >From the perspective of (a) being in Dallas, and (b) having all our database servers in hardened collocations with redundant onsite generators, my experience was pretty much having a few beers. I felt spiritually obligated to follow Bloomberg's advice to "drink lots of liquids".
We did see three of our monitored client's clients fall off line (about 2%). It's situations like this that make me love collocations. We basically get to be part of a co-op that pays someone else to worry about power, fire and physical security. -rje O> Any listers (when you have time) who were effected the Great Blackout of O> 2003 please share your experiences. UPS, Y2K backup generators fired up, O> scramble to shutdown, communication issues etc...
