I am wondering if this seems common to most of you on here.  In my area it 
seems that all cellular sites have backup generators and battery backup.  Seems 
like the biggest issues we see are devices remote from the central offices that 
lose power and cause disruptions, like RSTs and SLCs.  During hurricane Katrina 
we saw a lot of active outside plant devices underwater and that caused lots of 
disruption even when the CO survived.
