Regional bank checking in. We've been told to reroute certain workloads through other means until 6am central Friday. Regardless of that, the story coming out of this over the next few days is really going to help Business Continuity departments at other institutions plan for this scenario. My teams are running mock scenarios this afternoon based on the auto power shutdown causing a data center to be unable to fail over. Might end up being something else entirely, but it's still a good scenario to investigate.

I get paid by direct deposit into my WF acct between midnight tonight and 6am tomorrow. I suppose I can eventually rely on my employer keeping records and replaying everything.
If ACH areas are involved, hopefully they already had those queued a day early per normal routines and you'll (hopefully) be fine. There are exceptions allowing companies to provide ACH files late. That's the exception and not the rule.
