Sounds huge and probably bigger than just a single plant. Watching the
MSNBC/CNN feeds in the NOC shows everyone filing out of NYC on foot b/c
of lack of subway and traffic-light-induced gridlock.
The primary affect we've seen so far is the drop off in customer traffic
based on CPE being offline. No real hit to infrastructure yet.
