They said it started with a power outage, but I thought Linode data centers ran on UPS and didn't have power outages? And, given the length of this outage, the problem seems more serious.

The power outage affected their HVAC system, so it seems to me like the entire DC had to be shutdown, so bringing everything back up from a black start seems to be the situation.

Over 22 hours of downtime for the one VPS I have in that region.

My infrastructure is redundant and spread out among hosting providers and DCs so there's no real impact, but I'm pretty sure this is the longest outage I've ever had with any provider. And the communication level has been so dissapointing. 4 hrs to say it's a power / HVAC issue? Updates that basically just say we're still working on it since then.
