Hurricane Ian Seen through Internet Outages in Florida

We’ve been watching Hurricane Ian move across the Gulf of Mexico as it approached Florida. It looks like it made landfall about 3pm EDT (19:00Z).

Our Trinocular Internet outage detection showed the first residential Internet outages starting around 2:20pm EDT (18:22Z) and they go up from there. Our most recent data (as of this post at 7:45pm EDT, or 23:45Z) shows outages from about 75 minutes ago at 6:15pm EDT (22:13Z) with network outages over 50% in most of the western peninsula.

Trinocular outages in Florida at 6:13pm EDT (22:13Z). Circle area is proportional to the number of networks that are out in each 0.5×0.5 degree geographic grid cell, the color is the percentage of networks that are out.

We hope folks stay inside and safe!

network outages in Louisiana with Hurricane Ida

We’ve been watching the situation in Louisiana develop with Hurricane Ida with our Trinocular Internet outage detection system.

Internet outages in Louisiana at 8:30pm Sunday evening August 29, corresponding to Hurricane Ida’s landfall.

Data as of 2021-08-30t01:30Z, which is 8:30pm Sunday night August 29 in New Orleans, shows about half of the networks in the New Orleans area being unreachable (mostly IPv4 home networks). Following shortly after landfall, these outages correspond with news reports about widespread power loss. Current data is appearing on our Internet outage map.

We wish the residents of Louisiana the best and hope for a rapid recovery.
