DEAR GOD!! Millions won't be able to check facebook immediately after they get home from work or school!

Families might have to talk to EACH OTHER at dinner. OH, THE HORROR

Seriously though, this is a pretty big outage, covering much of Tennessee, Kentucky, and Southern Indiana.

Reports say it’s a complete outage of Internet, and data services, as well as some cell coverage.

Nah, I think a fire sale would be far more spread - across cell carriers, and a larger area effected (Likely DC, as in the film)

I saw some of that here in Memphis this morning, but thought it was either my phone or cell tower.

AC probably failed at a major center, leading to a cascade failure. It’s HOT out.

BenLurkin found another instance wherein the INTERNET has went dark. So the ping list is activated.

Those of you in the affected areas should raise your hand and say ME ME ME!

For when the INTERNET goes down and quits working completely (Sorta like Congress only funner)

I've created a FRee Republic Emergency Ping list (as suggested by mitch5501 ) called:

The "The INTERNET isn't working" ping list:

IF you would like "ON' or "OFF the list FReep Mail me OR ping me in a thread with your request. This will not be a High Volume Ping list (Well at least we hope the INTERNET doesn't quit working frequently)

"So let it be written. So let it be done."

The List: mitch5501; Rocky; Pajamajan; Mad Dawgg; hoosiermama; SE Mom; null and void; BenLurkin; bigheadfred; redhead; berdie; Old Sarge; wyokostur; GeronL; TheOldLady; ducttape45; Gefn; IYellAtMyTV; Redcitizen; LonePalm; garandgal; Fiddlstix; bt_dooftlook; liberalh8ter; Mercier; Truth29; PA Engineer; citizen; bleach; Greetings_Puny_Humans; TangoLimaSierra; Chickensoup; rexiesmom; FourtySeven; RinaseaofDs; RikaStrom; ozarkgirl; Grimmy; Jet Jaguar; silverleaf
