Yes, by all means our prayers are with you Tim and your employees and all your families. Been through a few of these storms when living in Biloxi Mississippi. They can be scary.
While on the east coast; if you get bored and feel like writing something; I'd be curious to know how the voipo network is set up to withstand such a disaster. I know your offices are in Houston. Are ALL the servers there also? Do ALL VoipO customer's calls go through Houston to the servers? I know level 3 is a major backbone provider, but how are the voip calls router. Just curious. If you have time and want to write. Thanks. And again, our prayers are with you all and your families. Later.... Mike.....

Equipment is mostly in Dallas with backups in Houston. Everything primarily goes through Dallas. There it's spread out among The Planet's datacenters. I have full confidence in TP keeping things online. Their Houston DCs I've never been 100% sold on but the Dallas ones I don't worry about at all. Their planning is very solid there.
No power for nearly 3M in Houston area
05:22 AM CDT on Saturday, September 13, 2008
Associated Press HOUSTON -- Nearly 3 million people are without power in the Houston area as Hurricane Ike slams the Texas coast.
It will likely be a while before electricity returns. CenterPoint Energy says it could take weeks before all the power in the nation’s fourth-largest city was restored.
Utility spokesman Floyd LeBlanc said 1.3 million customers—or about 2.9 million people—had lost power by the time the storm made landfall at Galveston early Saturday. Work crews were coming in Monday to restore power, and priority will be given to hospitals, fire and police departments and water and sewage treatment plants.
The city’s last direct hit from a hurricane came from Alicia in 1983, when 750,000 CenterPoint customers lost power. It took 16 days to restore all service.
Stay safe!

If there are any ramifications as a result of the storm, it's better that this happened before the full launch.
Maybe Tim's company is in a hospital or other public service grid and power will get priority restoration.
We've been lucky in South Florida, as we are in a hospital grid and haven't had too long a wait after each storm.
