Ok well the servers are in downtown Houston. Rita is a Category 5 and still strengthening. I will be leaving tomorrow evening if it stays on its current track. So wish us luck and hopefully the site won't be down for long.
Our prayers go out to all those in the path of Rita. Servers, cars and houses can be replaced..... people can't.
Take care

to what? It's a virtual server not hosted on my end.. The backup would still reside at the host.. No time to dl and burn to a cd.. I'm already evacuated.. luckily I even have internet access.. since I have a huge 3'x5' pc with 12 harddrives, I just pulled the drives and brought them with me..
unless Rita freaks out and takes a good left, it seems we have dodged the bullet so to speak... depending on the amount of rain and flooding, I may be able to return tomorrow.. Shorty stayed there with that huge wrecker. He will swing by the house and let me know if I can get the Festivas down my street... hopefully no trees have made my livingroom their home.. :shock:
I drove home today to see that there was 0 damage from the 60mph winds 80mph gusts.. luckily I removed allot of tree branches before I left.. Power was even going.. woohoo.. Thanks y'all for the thoughts..
