I appreciate the updates.  I’m still getting outage alerts from Intrado due to the ongoing work.

This is turning into a mix of information. Its going to be that way for a while until we get more stable, when it's just outage notification updates.

Sorry I don't follow. Isn't the point of this list to keep people informed?

Latest update from AT&T:



AT&T Corporate Real Estate teams are now gathering on site after pausing work last night due a fire that reignited on site around midnight. The Fire Marshall has joined the AT&T team to provide official approval to proceed. Last night, the teams were able to accomplish testing the busbar, placing the temporary generators, completing power cabling, and opening all the breakers on the individual floors. It is estimated that this round of power related work is about 75% complete. The target is for energizing is 1200 CST. A partial analysis by the AT&T Structural Engineer initial found no concrete or steel damage that caused major concern. Once team re-engage this morning, they will complete their full analysis and ensure it is safe for restoration crews to proceed. AT&T Mechanical Engineers have confirmed there is roughly 3 feet of water in the basement with potential damage to mechanical equipment in that area. It is also suspected that commercial power may not be available for some time and as a result power will come from AT&T and Tennessee Emergency Management Agency generators. Additional technician support will be made available rotating over a 24 hour period.

Core CBB teams continue to work on the secondary plan to reroute around the Nashville 2nd Ave location. They had some success this morning at 05:05 CT when core connectivity was established for the Winchester, KY office. Partial 911 connectivity has been restored in that specific area. Work will continue on the CBB reroute plans in several locations around the Southeast Region.

We have installed a SatCOLT positioned in the area of the CO NSVLTNMT building and is up and taking traffic to aid in communication. The secondary SatCOLT arrived and has been turned up to provide additional coverage.

The next update will be issued at approximately 13:00 CT, unless there is a significant change in status

Let's please continue to confine replies here to specific information about
network impacts, and keep the speculation threads to -discuss; thanks to
whomever already started that thread.  I would name them, but the caffeine
hasn't kicked in yet.

If you're in that building in Nash, we'll be particularly interested in
anything you're allowed to tell us in between bailing.

Cheers,
