i recieved this last night so i am more relaxed and all my sites are up this is from the DC:
This message is from our data center director:
All possible steps are being taken to ensure the smooth running of
servers
during this storm, though it is possible there may be some downtime due
to
this natural disaster.
Disaster planning is currently and has been underway for some time. We
will
operate our core services with a limited staff so that the bulk of our
employees can be with their families. A core staff of approximately 25
will be
on hand in the DC throughout the storm. This includes a facilities
specialist
as well as an a/c specialist.
DC staff will be on hand to handle emergency repairs and tickets.
Routine
tickets and upgrades will most probably have a delayed response.
As an extra precaution, we have sourced an additional rental generator.
While
this unit would not be needed for a brief outage, if we were to
experience a
loss of power lasting several days, we would need to perform normal
maintenance on our generators, and this would give us a generator to
run while
that maintenance is taking place. Maintenance such as oil changes is
required
under our operating specifications every 100 to 150 hours, meaning that
we
would need to perform maintenance sometime after 4-5 days. All total,
we have
in excess of 10,000 gallons of fuel on site. We have guaranteed
contracts for
fuel delivery and two fuel depots are located within 2 miles of our
facility.
We anticipate that the coming storm will have no impact on our
operations.
However, we are prepared to deal with any eventuality.
Our buildings are designed to withstand Cat 4 conditions. It would be a
highly
improbable situation for us to sustain a cat 4 this far inland. It is
anticipated that we will see high Cat 3 conditions .... based upon the
current
track and our location.
All our providers have disaster and contingency plans and we are in
contact with
them ensuring that our mutual emergency contacts.
Due to evacuations and limited staff, ticket responses will likely slow
during
this situation. No upgrades will take place until we restore complete
operations. New server purchases will be limited to that on hand and no
new
servers will be placed into service.
Thank you for your understanding.
so i am pretty sure i am ok will see later tonight--looks like they have plenty of fuel, seems strange we have tons of fuel for porn but all the people on the highway are stranded and have none ??? what a world
