Times shown US/Pacific PST8PDT -0800 unless indicated otherwise:

PG&E power outage(s):
2021-12-13: 8:00 PM -- 5:00 PM PST
Not out the solid the entire time for me, but multiple outages
including multiple long outages, PG&E reported 1,048 customers impacted.
Which also takes systems offline (network equipment dependencies):
Systems back online and operational again by (some requiring manual
restart in this case) approximately:
1:10:36 PM except*

Impacted for the duration:

*except, haven't determined exactly why, but, at least after 2nd time VM
had been crashed and restarted due to the outages, the 2nd time the VM was
restarted, there was an error with the web server being restarted ... not
sure why - perhaps some systemd unit file flaw(s) with some subtle
timing or sequencing dependency or such bug/flaw.  In any case, web server
didn't restart at boot.  I didn't notice this until bit before and had it
successfully started by:
2021-12-14 5:27:02 P.M.
As far as I'm aware thus far, nothing else that was supposed to (re)start
at (re)boot failed to (re)start.  Sorry I didn't catch that sooner.
(Better) monitoring is in the queue of many LUG tasks to be done.
A simple normal start of the web server was all that was required to
have it fully operational again.

If there are folks that want sudo access to be able to
reload and (re)start the web server
(and possibly also with sufficient justification, access to stop it),
let me know, and that can be arranged.  That could'a got the
web server (re)started as much as about 28:16:26 sooner.
