In a hundred mile area ranging from Monterey to San Jose, Thursday April 9th was a quiet day. In fact, to repeat a cliche, it was “too quiet”.   Shortly after midnight, technically saavy vandals attacked 8 fiber optic backbone lines in Morgan Hill, cutting virtually ALL communication in the region.  Land lines, Cellular service, credit card processing, ATM communications, fire & security alarms and Internet service were wiped out, with eight well placed cuts.
