Subject: [STATE-COORD] States Sites Down -
Hey this is your NENC EC Rep - and WI ASC checking in -
Currently, the storms in the midwest have clobbered a bunch of folks and
their internet and emails are most likely down for awhile. The North West
corner of Iowa is one of the communities hit by a rain storm early morning
with winds that reached 94 miles an hour. The storm traveled east from Des
Moines to Muscatine, which was hit hard, and across the river into Illinois.
Rock Island County, south of the Quad Cities was included in this area.
I encourage all the SCs/ASCs to post this type of stuff to the Mailing List
so all of us are aware of what is happening - significant things which can
and will affect the internet. This way we can inform others of what is
occurring.
And I would ask that we all be patient if and when a state site goes down -
it happens so rarely that we should really give the SC/ASC of that state,
the courtesy of an email asking what's up instead of posting to the list
first to ask - if they don't respond in a reasonable timeframe, try emailing
the NENC of the region, most of the time it is temporary. Since we are all
volunteers, you never know what is happening in their lives - or if a server
just went off line (nothing uncommon in that - smile)... Most of the
SCs/ASCs will post a note or send a message through a third party if
something is really amiss.
