Is anyone else experiencing connectivity issues to MAE-EAST? I have been
informed that there is a MCI/Worldcom fiber cut in NY somewhere but, I have
been unable to confirm this.
Yes, There was a cut near Avalon, NJ. I got a report that several OC-48's were
affected.

From what I've heard it's caused by a flooded CO, we have quite a
few T1s affected by this.
Any ETA?

Bullet proof, YES. Waterproof, Doubtful.

Sure you can, make it so that it's at least several hundred feet above sea
level, and not in a flood plain.

Actually, it's quite easy.
Rochelle Park, NJ: The northern LATA 224 Tandem. It's currently under
water; so are the generators and batteries. Customers of the Class 5
functiono of this office have NO DIALTONE; not even battery on the line.
Class Features of the entire northern portion of NJ are out; you can't
call out, but you can call in. AIN features are out. Dozens of Bell Atl's
OC48 SONETs are out; over 5,000 DS1's that go through that a few DACS' in
that building are gone. In the same building is AT&T Wireless, and AT&T
LD; both are completely gone. AT&T Wireless is dead in North NJ.
If the generators and batteries had been on the second floor, rather than
basement and sub-basement, they would still be up now. Now, they are
replacing the entire battery plant and generators.
I may have some pictures of it later.
My office (thank god not my data center) lost power this morning at 8am,
and we are on generators (http://www.nac.net/photos/floyd/MVC-004F.JPG);
GPU Energy says "ehh, maybe Monday or so."
The funny part is that the building our data center is in took > 4,000
gallons of water. The kicker? The water came into the building through the
2,500 amp 480volt conduits. We didn't lose power, not even for 100 ms.
I'll have pictures of that shortly also.
OK. So I suggest Twentynine Palms, CA for the next exchange.
Or Mount Washington.
If the next is exchange is located in a cold enough location (naturally)
we don't even have to worry about HVAC redundancy.

From the pictures, looks like a 10 story building stuck in the middle of
older 1 and 2 story homes. Haven't they heard of zoning out there?
If you build the drains for residential, and then plunk multi-story
offices in the middle, you are bound to have drainage problems!
With that many stories, why would anything be under water?
Afraid that electricity won't run uphill?
Am I in a critical mood this morning....
