For downtown workers hoping to simply re-start work once we are allowed back into the core in mid-week, I am aware the power outage knocked out the entire IT infrastructure of several downtown companies.
Any systems that could not be powered down correctly and went down hard due to power loss and backup generator/UPS failure will take some time to bring back up.
Several companies are scrambling since last Thursday to set up alternate sites/services or even resorting to sending trucks into downtown to retrieve all their equipment and set up shop elsewhere before work resumes to minimize business interruptions. In this day and age, without computers, most people won't be able to do anything.
