This is still my favorite tornado/network related item:
http://home.hubris.net/owenc/tornado/
Back in the early days I was out of the town for I think one of the
first times ever after starting the business (at ISPC maybe?). I
logged on to see a huge drop in the number of people dailed up at a
time when it should have been going up. I was a bit freaked out when
I noticed at the same time the temperature had fallen 40 degrees in
about 20 minutes. A quick call home let me connect the dots.
