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: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ftp/graphics/AT03/refresh/AL0304W+GIF/111508W.gif 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. ~kari
