Anyone here near Des Plaines IL?

yeah, the UPS that the router was plugged into died (catastrophic failure apparently) but there was no way for me to know that from 2000 miles away. I knew that it had to be a power issue, but I was helpless to do anything about it because it took down both lines. I had to call a colleague in to fix it after hours. I'm not sure how bad it is but I'm guessing that I'll need to at least order a new UPS in the morning.
