Being that Miami is my home town. I found it interesting today that in areas
affected by the black out services like verizon EVDO lost their backbone
connections. The towers were up with signal but no one could get to the IP
gateway. Driving a few miles to a lit area provided connectivity.
This is a concern for those of us with hurricane experience in the area.

failure in an electrical substation near the Turkey Point nuclear station
south of Miami, the division of emergency management said. That failure
caused other parts of the system to shut down to protect the integrity of
the electrical grid."
