Microsoft knocked out by mother Nature

Scoble"s Blog: Buzz Bruggeman just called from Seattle. He says that Microsoft"s main campus is without power and trees are down all over the place due to a major windstorm there. Tons of trees down. He says he"s talked with several Microsoft employees and that reports are that folks can"t send email and stuff like that. It"ll be interesting to see what"s running tomorrow. Over on Blogs.msdn.com I saw a few pictures of the damage, sounds really bad.

Mike Hall of Microsoft says that his office has power.
Jeff Sandquist says he hasn"t had power for four days.
TDavid has some pictures of the tree damage.
Jeff just called from Microsoft"s campus and says that there"s power there, but everything else around Microsoft is a mess. He doesn"t expect to have power at his house for a couple of more days. Cell phone coverage is spotty due to the power outages.

He says Microsoft has a pretty decent generator system on its main campus, but did lose power on Friday morning, but is back now.
