Fortunately it went right around us, but yeah if it had hit, it wouldn't have affected much.
I'm not quite as crazy as Brent is with HostGator as far as the examples given, but the big picture is basically the same.
We have a contract for access to contingency office space in Dallas for people to work from in the event that this kind of thing happens. It's through The Planet and is fully equipped with computers, internet access, etc. It's designed just for this kind of scenario.
Our equipment is spread out throughout Houston and Dallas datacenters and wouldn't really be impacted at all with the redundancy features built-in.
