Update timeline
- monitoring Aug 29, 2021, 02:43 PM UTC
Stage 1 storm mode activated. NOC online and monitoring data integrations.
- monitoring Aug 29, 2021, 09:39 PM UTC
UK data integrations have been paused to keep data updates running timely. (We are working on backend improvements so this wont be necessary in the future.)
- monitoring Aug 30, 2021, 03:01 PM UTC
Stage 1 storm mode is still active system wide. Stage 2 storm mode has been enabled for a few utilities whos data integrations are unstable or offline. (this freezes their data so it does not zero out after the usual time frame {one hour with stage 1 active} and will only change when a fully successful data integration update has been completed. )

Stage 1 storm mode is still active system wide. Stage 2 storm mode is still active for a subset of utilities that are severally impacted by Hurricane Ida UK data integrations are still disabled at this time. This will be a long event due to the complete rebuild of the affected electrical grid that is required, expect system updates every 24 hours unless something of note happens with our systems.
