Service Interruptions Explained

Out in Orem, Utah, where my host provider is located, they've been having a heat wave. Last Friday the city's power grid failed, taking BlueHost with it—some podcast listeners may have noticed it was difficult in the evening to download Friday's show—and today, as the power company was making repairs they experienced a second outage. Evidently the entire city of some 85,000 is affected. In any case, BlueHost is trying a workaround, relocating servers to where they have access to emergency power. I'm told it's not expected to be a chronic problem, so let's keep our fingers crossed.
