Weather Problems!

Post by bjcollin »

Sorry if you have experienced problems accessing the board these past few days. San Antonio TX is currently undergoing an ugly winter storm. We had 1/4" ice followed by 5-6" snow followed by very cold temperatures. We started loosing power at our home Sunday late night with rolling blackouts. The UPS held up the server for about 1 hour during that first night, but then by Monday 10a we lost power for 17 hours to our home which for us means no heat and no anything as our home is pure electric with no natural gas in our area available. They say we are going to get another cold snap in the next two days. So if the board is off line later Tuesday or Wednesday, don't worry it will be back once our power is more stable. Take care, Texas is closed for winter weather! Love you guys, stay safe.

in Christ,

Thank you for the prayers! Our power has been on steady for the last 48 hours and going. We got round 2 of the storm in last night with thunder sleet/snow and today we have another couple of inches of snow. So far no rolling blackouts like in other areas of town, so it looks like we will be able to get through this.

Sorry for weather related board outage yesterday 5/17/2021.

We had 45 mph winds and rain storms hit us last night which knocked out our power about midnight last night. The UPS held up the board/router for a bit, but the power didn't come back on for about 14 hours. Then the server needed some software upgrades that was preventing it from updating so I did that. We are now back online until at least tonight as more severe storms in our area are expected. Thank you.

in Christ,

Sorry got knocked off line again due to some weather yesterday, also unknown to me the IP address of my Spectrum cable modem/router DNS lease changed after being the same for a couple of years, so that is now fixed in the name servers pointing to the website. Sorry for the down time. Happy Dreaming!
