[ldm-users] Weather3.admin.niu.edu outage

For those of you who feed from NIU, you should have weather2.admin.niu.edu as the backup for my data feeds. If you do, this doesn't affect you, but the hard drives are failing on weather3 and I shut the LDM down on it to do a backup and prepare for replacement. Anyway, weather3 will be running again this evening, but could go down at any time with the bad hard drives. Please make sure you are getting data from weather2, and if not, give me a holler.
Looks like we had collateral damage from a huge power surge yesterday from an underground power line that shorted out, sending a manhole cover in one of our parking lots 50' in the air, and doing damage as it nicked a nearly brand new Lexus on the way back down. So, how's your day going? ;-) (I'm not complaining, these things happen, and I'm prepared. The Lexus owner might disagree, though. Most importantly, nobody was hurt in all of this.)
