Big trouble at Linode's Newark data center

While most of our newer customers are on AWS, we have a number of legacy customers on Linode/Akamai. Sunday morning, our VPSes started going offline.

At 6:08am Eastern on Sunday, Linode's status page acknowledged big trouble "related to heating/cooling complications in the [Newark] data center due to a power outage."

While the majority were down for several hours, one customer's VPS didn't come back until around 9:30pm Eastern. Linode's status page still indicates recovery work is in progress.

This is by far the longest Linode outage I can remember.

While #hugops are definitely in order (I'd send the techs a pizza if I knew where to send it), I am also curious if others are still seeing servers down at this point.
