MASSIVE Storms in VA area where us-east-1 is. 326,000 customers without power already, worst lightning I have seen in my 20 years of life. Sky is intense blue/green/purple. This is most likely what the issue is

No matter how powerful we become as a species with our technology, we are still at the mercy of the clouds. Pretty cool if you think about it.

Why does the AWS dashboard show all green when that is most definitely not the case? http://status.aws.amazon.com/

The red check marks are in VA and can't be displayed.

I strongly doubt that's the case, at PagerDuty we're seeing ~100x the regular traffic. I think it's been having issues for at least 15 minutes.
