I was just south of the affected area, but my work was right in the heart - needless to say, i raced home to see if the fishes were ok - they were....note to self, get self starting air pump for fish tank...

over 2 million people affected some for up to 5 hours...

It even affected us up here in the great white north. Our reefing BB was down. The company we use to host it is in LA.

Why don't you get a UPS? Costco has a 1000VA TrippLite with a digital read out for $99. With only a pump connected that should last you a while.

Reef Visions was down too, as well as my personal website and image hosting, because our host is in Brea, which is about 30 miles out of LA.

We lost power the other night in just our neighborhood... it was out for 6 long hours, but it was a great time to get out the generator, fire it up, test it out (new generator purchased with tank) and figure out what else we needed for a hurricane.... never hurts to do a test like this someday just so that you are prepaired.
