A good time to ensure you have a stable holdover clock, and a way to switch NTP servers in case the one you rely on is down.
But this is rough, losing power to the clocks that make time for US services... https://groups.google.com/a/list.nist.gov/g/internet-time-service/c/o0dDDcr1a8I

FYI the time was only ever off by 5μs, so they kept the NTP servers running, thanks to some heroics by staff who remained onsite during the wind storms.
Still have to deal with the clock drift, but seems like crisis averted for now! https://groups.google.com/a/list.nist.gov/g/internet-time-service/c/OHOO_1OYjLY
