[AusNOG] LGA11 - Hurricane Update

[Matt Perkins]

Funny we are looking at a new project now to assess the feasibility  of 
using natural gas fueled standby generation.  I wonder what the exposure 
of the NG network is to other wide spread power loss as well as 
flooding. I bet it takes me many weeks to find out.
