access road is clear and down power line across our road has been  
repaired

besides power we have maintained all other utilities on site at 100%

The utility company says another day or 2 before power is restored

The generator has been running  reasonably well  with staff TLC and we  
have fuel. However the Generator is not 100% yet. Parts are days to 1  
week out.

Critical  computing machines are still off unless needed for specific  
tasks

We do not plan to open for observing until power is restored or  
generator parts come in and we are confident  in the generator  and  
that a disruption of power for 30 minutes or more will not jeopardize  
the telescopes or instruments. In dome testing can be made available  
and is encouraged to make use of this time.
