[AusNOG] Brisbane?

[Greg Macsok]

We have just been advised that the local power utility will be shutting off an entire grid section of Brisbane CBD's power and have been told to turn off all equipment.

Luckily for us, we aren't a datacentre and are only having to shut down two servers in our local office.

After speaking with others locally, it appears it isn't an isolated issue - large sections of the CBD are being forcibly evacuated - no chances are being taken.

A lot of the Brisbane sites are showing low bandwidth versions due to the amount of visitors.
For updates on actual "flood damage" people can check:

I was about to suggest checking out www.ourbrisbane.com for updates and access to web cams but it's off the air.  That can't be a good sign.
