Hi all,

Tropical Storm Charlie is currently headed straight towards Cuba, and 
all projections indicate that it will continue on to Florida, reaching 
hurricane strength by the time it gets here:

Now, in all the years I've lived here, I've seen many storm predictions 
that are wildly inaccurate, and there's a good chance this is the same 
and Charlie will never reach us. At the same time, however, if it does 
hit north of Tampa, the counter-clockwise flow of the storm will send 
massive amounts of water flooding into the Bay.

The datacenter housing Zucc has every piece of equipment on at least 18 
inches of raised floors, and they are supposedly able to operate for a 
week on their generators, however I wouldn't be surprised if it still 
goes down should the worst happen.

As you might imagine, in the case of a direct hit I'll be pretty busy 
with other things, and likely won't even have an internet connection to 
administer the server, if I had time. Jester, however, is sitting high 
and dry on top of the Rocky Mountains, and is more than able to bring 
the server back up to speed if it is knocked out.
