Linode outage in Fremont

From Hurricane Electric: "A utility failure is affecting much of Fremont, CA, USA, damaging some electrical equipment. We are currently working to restore power."<p><a href="https://twitter.com/#!/henet/status/66466691856601088" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/#!/henet/status/66466691856601088</a>

Dont they have backup generators? I thought all datacentres did, although I have known them to fail too...

Fremont keeps going out, this annoys me. I routinely have problems w/ Linode at this data center. :(

"Power appears to have been restored and we are working on bringing Linodes up now." <a href="http://status.linode.com/2011/05/outage-in-fremont-facility.html" rel="nofollow">http://status.linode.com/2011/05/outage-in-fremont-facility....</a>

Interesting. Does the Fremont facility have inadequate backup generation/UPS?

"We skip the backup generators and pass the savings on to you!"

Again! :(
