Thanks for the well-wishes. This one looks really bad.

Anyone who works in our office has been given time off to be with family at this time. Anyone who normally works remotely outside of Houston will be working normally to address critical issues that come up. I am currently in the Northeast monitoring the situation and making plans to address it.

Well as a few of us said in the other thread - hopefully everyone will be safe and it won't be as bad as they say.

You have to have hope.
Where in the Northeast? In Norm's basement?

I was originally at the W in Dallas, but there is good potential for Dallas to get some tornados and have power outages, so I went to visit family in WV. Haven't done so in a year or so so they seem happy about that. Since it's essentially a waiting game to see how extensive the damage is, there's not a lot that can be done.

I'm go back to Dallas Mon or Tues depending on how things look there and we'll go from there at this point.

We don't expect a lot of physical damage in the part of Houston with the exception that the office is a glass building. So depending on the outcome, we may or may not need to move to contingency space.

HostGator has also closed and is offering emergency-only support with their remote employees as well.

We're mostly concerned about the interruption of support operations and keeping everyone safe at this point until it passes.

Funny that you refer to West Virginia as the Northeast.....
We from the Northeast consider that "Mid-Atlantic"

But then again we are splitting hairs.

You made a smart decision to "hot-foot" it out of there.

While you were moving millions....I was sorting my sock drawer.

Best of of luck and stay safe.

We will keep you on our prayers in Indiana.

Fortunately, we had very minimal damage at the office. Just a few windows blown out and that's about it.

Basically the key now will be power restoration and getting all the public services back on like water, etc. They said it could take up to a month for all power to be restored because of the extend of damage.
