That's not OK, right? They should have power backups.

I'm completely down.
I feel like since LS calmed down, generator/backup power maintenance was put on the back burner by lots of vendors.

We had a multi-day ISP outage in one of the rural areas because the generator battery exploded and took some other vital components along with it.
