Scott took a week off for vacation and at the end of the week we had the tail end of a hurricane roll through, the result being 150000 homes and businesses without power. That was Sat-Sun, still about 40000 or so without power, nevermind phone and internet.

Not sure how hard it hit the town where Scott lives, but he may not have access back as of yet, plus there is all the resulting clean up associated with the storm.

Everyone just needs to be patient, while things come back online.
