Update
03.02.2009:
Power and connectivity just returned.
Yaks recovering from 11 days of dark and chill.
News and comment on the way. |
Big storms on the steppes. 100 years worth of damage.
Electricity gone for at least a week. Full connectivity
gone for maybe a month.
News service to return as soon as the yaks can get everything
working again. |
