Hey folks, due to multiple manhole explosions and underground utilities fires, the internet and cell service has been down in my section of Astoria for the last 2 days. It was manageable for a few hours, but at this point it’s impacting just about everything. From working on Mugsy updates, all the way to grocery stores unable to take payment and ATMs unable to spit out money. COVID lockdowns for all bars and restaurants have made it impossible to piggyback on someone else’s WiFi. It’s a mess. Some sections of the neighborhood are finally coming back online so I expect it to be resolved for us pretty soon. Verizon is saying sometime tomorrow.  Once we are back online, I’ll be jumping into pushing Mugsy updates and content and hitting emails. Until then, I will be unable to respond to any contacts. 

Hopefully this actually posts! Been trying to push this out on the random bar of service that pops up every few hours for 30 seconds before dying again.

Here is a vid someone posted of some of the fires. Skip to 4:50 for some exciting electrical zap flames...
