+Rose-Hulman Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) Generators are in a different building from I can tell. Seems like a reasonable design to me but I am no engineer. Agree that maybe some floor drains would be a good idea. I am and I agree. The design seems to have accomplished it's primary goal of preserving life and containing the fire. I assume that the problem was with a transformer. They unfortunately will every so often just fail, sometimes fantastically. Edited July 5, 2009 by seob Quote Link to comment
+WRASTRO Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Oh sure, just pile on. I would hope that a company with a bazillion customers would have more ways to restore service. I wasn't piling on. That wasn't my intention. Sorry if I offended. I agree with you that GC.com did everything within their power and resources to get back online. They obviously a small operation and I think their level of backup seems appropriate. Verizon absolutely needed to have a backup and evidently they did. GC being down is an annoyance, my Verizon DSL sevice being down is a major disruption, especially for my wife! No offense taken. Just trying to make the point to others that the level of expectations for GS to have redundant systems seems just a bit over the top. Quote Link to comment
