Hurricane Sandy may have passed the Mid-Atlantic region, but its effects are still being felt online.
The storm knocked out power and caused severe flooding across the Northeastern United States. New York City power companies on parts of lower Manhattan yesterday, shutting down Web sites without redundant servers. Many of those data centers remained down today, and power provider Con Edison said power likely won't be restored to Manhattan for about four days.
