I'm well aware of these generators with two shipping-container sized units right outside my building, tested fequently. So, I concede and simply disagree.

I agree they will likely lose some customers but I disagree that there was too much they can do now. Were they in the mandatory evacuation zone? (I don't know) Will 20 drums (10-ish hours) really help if this is a multi-day outage? Did the customers plan for a failover to another datacenter, or put all their eggs in one basket? (oops!)
