I was working for a small non-profit focused on youth voting. I was working out of the Americorps/CityYear office in Philly that morning. My dad was the Director of IT for a major University.

It was pretty early in the morning when it hit. And it hit fast. I received I Love You emails, but knew something was up. Called my dad and shit was hitting the fan there and he gave me a heads up what was happening. While I was on the phone with him, the office I was in started having alot of commotion as it started going through their inboxes.

I don't remember there being much actual damage, but it was stunning how fast and widespread it was. It's one of those days you look back on and remember as a day the internet changed.
