A long haul since 20 August when we last updated. Bunker was overrun twice; they got into the server room this time, which was nearly catastrophic for our effort here. A couple of stray rounds took out the primary server, and there was a fire, which pretty much destroyed the back-up array. Fortunately, we had just replaced the old back-up array with new equipment, and we had not yet re-purposed the old one, which was stored off-site in one of our warehouse caches. At any rate, it took us a while to get back up on our feet (we lost a couple of generators too), here’s what’s gone in the rest of the world in the interim:
In the U.S. there were 3658 hits in 39 states and the District of Columbia. New Jersey, Nevada, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Utah all had over 100 hits each. New York and Wisconsin were a lot busier, with over 200 hits each. Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont had over 300 hits each, and Maryland had 466. The heavy hitter this time around was Connecticut, which suffered 592. Clearly New England is to be avoided.
Overseas. we had hits in 26 countries, Germany and Austria having over 200 hits apiece, and Canada had 321, spread pretty evenly across the country. Portugal suffered 621 hits, the most for this reporting period, and in a much smaller territory. One might well think twice about going there too. Croatia had its first reports, and a number of eastern European countries were up over 50 hits each. There were reports on 49 different ZTBs during this period.
Stay safe out there, and watch out for the Halloweeners….they just may be real!
