    Dumb hurricane. At work we watched Concord E-health report site after site down as it moved inland. It's spooky when you watch a buttload of your sites go down off the network one at a time. So far it's just power related.


    It's starting to rain now and I've lost power 2 times so far and I'm about to unplug everything and be bored. We're expecting lots of flooding as we just flooded on Tuesday and the ground is so saturated that 2 inches of rain is enough to overflow rivers and whatnots in the area. I expect the power to drop any minute nott hat the winds are kicking up. I'm honestly not sure what I'm going to do with no power. I have no idea what to do with my time if it doesn't involve the Internet or a PC anymore. Dang.

    I just said something like that to my GF, but I wasn't refering to a gameboy.


    I think I'm gonna get some wine and watch the rain sit on the balcony and watch the rain come down.

    In Pennsylvania we don't get hurricaines. Well, we get the tail ends but not the storms actually passing over. This is something else and people are peeing themselves.

    Sounds like it`ll shortly be time to test if your companies disaster recovery techniques are up to the job including UPS, backups etc.

    It was no big deal. Wind, rain, that's it. Powers down everywhere and phones aren't working very well, no street lights. Work is running the data center on diesel but no power in the town. I have power so I got to fire up the p166 lappy and try to work from home.

    How did everyone else in the area do?
