Last night we lost power for 7 hours because a Fed-Ex truck "got blown by high winds into a utility pole" on our main intersecting street. Maybe an asteroid crashed there in Chicago and has killed 5 million people? It is the Internet. Shit happens.
I'm unsure whether the platform is going to suddenly come to life, or if I need to keep re-booting it. A gap in either direction after restart might cause a bit of panic?
