Feeds affected by Hurricane Sandy

I hope the Live Audio Admins are taking steps to prevent feeds from being automatically deleted that will be offline for an extended period of time in the areas affected by Hurricane Sandy. I suspect that some of these feed providers may not have the ability to submit a help request specifically asking for the feed not to be deleted if they are still unable to get them back up and running within the three week grace period. There are still tens of thousands without power in the NJ/NY area.

Great point....I see several are still offline!

Feeds are deleted after 3 weeks of downtime, so the reality is that if a feed hasn't returned by then, then it probably isn't coming back at all. It is just the way the system is setup and I'm not inclined to change it at this time. If we have a few that exceed that it is trivial for them to resubmit an application to provide the feed when they eventually get back up and running.

Additionally, we're seeing pretty nice returns from a lot of the affected feeds.

Oddly, the Washington D.C. feed is offline, we were hardly affected. There were a few trees down but the power is back on. Does anyone know when it will be back? All efforts are appreciated.

I host the Sussex Cty Fire, Police & EMS & Morris Cty MIRS, Sussex CTY Fire in NJ and they were offline for 11 days due to this horrible storm. we got power & cable back on same time finally! Glad to see they weren't automatically deleted! I like the 3 week grace period! TY!
