Unplanned Downtime

If you’ve tried to access any of the Squidge sites in the last 12 hours, you would have encountered issues. That’s because a tree came down last night and took down all of the power for the neighborhood. We were down for just about 12 hours. Everything should be back up now and is processing […]
