    I don't like the cloud either but it is not really fair to use a facility cooling outage as criticism for the cloud. That can happen to just about anything - including your ISP, or any backbone facility.

    This was caused initially by lightning strikes during serious storms.

    That's quite the jump. Daily rainfall of 6.07" vs 1889 record of 1.76". But hey, just a fluke, no doubt. Or evidence for iffy reporting. Not global climate change. No, not ever that.

    It should also be noted that no data was lost.
