LA Power Outage Dims Discourse
The LA blackout seems to have taken the site down with it. Supposedly Dreamhost has an emergency backup system, but it seems to have failed completely. Probably FEMA-approved hardware...
Update: Details if you care...

Dreamhost only has double redundancy, that only gets you to about 99.9% uptime.
The DNS of course has to run to 99.9999% uptime or better.
