Excerpt:

The Huffington Post, Gawker and lots of other websites were unreachable after Datagram, a New York-based supplier of business Internet connections and servers, said it was fighting flooding in its workplaces. The floods triggered Datagram's fiber network to die, and the company said its backup generators were rendered useless due to the fact that the diesel fuel pumps made use of to refuel generators were offline. Datagram is located on 33 Whitehall Street in Battery Park-- a large area of reclaimed land at the southern tip of Manhattan that was in an evacuation area. It was among the worst-hit areas in the city. BuzzFeed, an additional Datagram customer, had the ability to get its site back up on-line Tuesday morning, helped by content delivery network Akamai (AKAM), which hosts the site 's material.
