My outlook email at work was intermittent during the min to later late afternoon hours in western Pennsylvania. Our online data collection program had a warning banner at the top of the main page. I gave up around 4 PM and left. I’m on call throughout the night and it’s been quiet. Whether it’s because of the outage is uncertain.
