The notice says the power outage was on July 29th. It was most likely on June 29th.

When our account was unreachable, I just did a google search for “Facebook Status” and found that page.

Nice to see you are on top of things. :)

You are the absolute greatest. Announcing this asap is most appreciated. But I know if it was a mistake that was caused by your own team, you would fess up to it immediately as well. That’s what I like about your company: utmost honesty, helpfulness, responsiveness, and a touch of humor.

It’s all good, some hillbilly cut the main fiber optic line here with a back hoe a couple of years ago and shut down 3 cities for 4 days.
