Superstorm Sandy has even flooded the Internet.
Popular New York based media blogs The Huffington Post, Gawker, Gizmodo, Mediate and more were inaccessible Tuesday after flooding from superstorm Sandy knocked out web host Datagram's servers Monday night -- along with power to millions of New York, New Jersey and Connectivity residents.
"We are continuing to battle flooding and fiber outages in downtown New York and Connecticut. ... generators are unable pump fuel due to the flooding in the basements," Datagram wrote on its website early Tuesday morning.

You may have something there. No slowdowns today at all.
Never watched that - but, lol - yes it does!
>> Really not trying to be snarky, but my point is there is nearly no place in this country that isn’t prone to some sort of natural disaster.
Many smart businesses put their data centers here in Phoenix for just that reason. I manage three of them. There are many more. Nothing but blue skies, solid ground, and plenty of nuke power here. I am not suggesting these media whores move their crap here, that would make too much sense for Liberals and would stink up the place. Let them eat Sand[y] water.
Thanks for that... looks to me like they’re not going to be back up for a minimum of 3-4 days - at the least.
You and I don’t often agree, but I think you might have the right of it there...
Last night as the storm hit, my internet speed went WAY UP!
These people were clearly idiots.
Neither did I, but it sure does fit here.
I know exactly what you mean. I occasionally pop over there from Jalopnik and the self righteous buffoonery is comical. It would be even more funny except those people are representative of so many morons in this country.
Start a hot thread on Libya and watch what happens.
It’ll be down again.
not until the power in manhattan goes back on
Mystery solved!
That's a clue to where the DSA (denial of service attacks) against Free Republic start ~ Manhattan Island!!!!
Response time has been great since ConEd pulled the plug on those guys in NYC
Sh!t, you're right.
*PING* to potentially interested VIFs (Very Important Freepers).
It's right there in the article as plain as day:
"...along with power to millions of New York, New Jersey and Connectivity residents. "
Cheers!
Well, it is true that response time improves every night when the east coast goes to bed.
Oh no, not Gawker! ;’)
Thanks Ron C.
BINGO!!!! Boingy boingy boingy Yahoo ~ that’s the pun of the century!!!!
The other flat screen, also glowing like an ember, announced "See how dark lower manhattan is ~ ConEd pulled their plug" ~ and true enough they went to bed ~ but we didn't!!!!
MIllions of people elsewhere on the East Coast stayed up to listen to the howling winds.
Those in Delaware, New Jersey and Lon Giland were cowed in terror through that long night.
