Jeff Taylor tells a pair of stories:
It was a normal day at the start, checking on the servers, responding to email, then all of a sudden the office went dark and silent…we had just lost power!
Everyone started stirring and then getting up, checking that our phone system was on backup power, and someone called the power company to report it and get a status of when the power would be back on.
Extreme heat, smoke, and servers are not a great combination.
