Isn't this like the 2nd or 3rd event at Fisher of late?

Any answers Jonathan? Has Fisher owned up to the cause yet? I did not 
hear of any local grid issues (we're certainly NOT broiling up here 
like the rest of the country.)


The *rumor* I heard was some sort of bypass switch failure. Genset(s) 
running, but no juice being delivered... then the UPS' ran dry. 
Outage lasted 45-90-some minutes depending on where in the facility 
your gear was.

The above is all hearsay though, from some INAP customers I ran into yesterday.
