Any status reports available?

No confirmed damage reports from any of the major PTTs or ISPs in
the area.  But they have not said "all clear" either.

As usual, congestion due to mass calling in/out of the region may
be indistinguishable from blocking due to damaged facilities.  A lot
of the on-scene reporting appears to be via satellite facilities.
