Florida also voted trump, when it kinda mattered more...
SUPPRESSING FIRE!Imagine setting up Bill Gates' anti-mosquito laser turret there. It'd go Molten Core.
How many plagues and/or apocalypse signs are we at now?Aaaand there's the earthquake - strongest one in a century, just to the south west of Mexico:

I don't know, but xkcd is tracking space phenomena for us:How many plagues and/or apocalypse signs are we at now?
Do you have the ability to back up the database and other data? Might be a good time, if you don't do it regularly already.By the way, our servers are located in Miami. The datacenter assures me that they can handle things and we'll be fine, but you never know.
We got Hugo in 89 there. The eye passed right over Pelion. It was noisy and rained, but it passed very quickly and didn't do much that far inland.I live in South Carolina, possibly within the storm track of Irma. I'm fine and not planning on going anywhere. Current models show the storm veering into Georgia and so it is unlikely that we will get much more than some strong storms and a slight chance of a tornado. Right now, my work has not announced any closings, but I am anticipating the high school I am at to be turned into a shelter, so will possibly be out monday and tuesday. Waiting on further updates.
I know Covar is also in NC. We're both 2 hrs from the coast, and at the most we might get some flash floods. If the wind speeds hold over land we could have tree problems. We shouldn't have nearly as bad of a time as our Florida/SC/Georgia brethren (Denbrought, OfficerCharon, Ravenpoe, Terrik, EvilMike, GenSpecific, others?) Stay safe, y'all.Well, all of the models have updated again, and the GFS has come into consensus with the Euro model. I'm hoping the reason we haven't heard from any actual Floridians (and Carolinians, and Georgians, and hell, maybe even Virginians) is because they're all checking in with the advisories from their local Emergency Management department and hunkering down/bugging out as necessary. Stay safe everyone.
It gets automatically backed up on an hourly schedule. That's what they say, at least.Do you have the ability to back up the database and other data? Might be a good time, if you don't do it regularly already.
Do they explicitly say their backups are off-site? Do you know where this off-site is, or at least how far away from the main data center? A manual backup can buy you a lot of peace of mind, in this kind of situation.It gets automatically backed up on an hourly schedule. That's what they say, at least.
From what I've read, the island is now deemed "uninhabitable."Barbuda Island.
Left, early 2017 in the dry seaosn. Right, today, after Irma. There's pretty much not a tree left standing, the entire tropical foliage has been torn away.
Evacuating at this point is all but impossible because the roads are fucked. See Poe's comment about just trying to get home.From what I've read, the island is now deemed "uninhabitable."
My idiot sister is staying put. I hope she and hers will be alright.
This wasn't "I planned to leave but we're stuck here," it's "we were never planning to leave, last time we left and nothing happened." I know people are stuck now though.Evacuating at this point is all but impossible because the roads are fucked. See Poe's comment about just trying to get home.
What part of the state is she located in?This wasn't "I planned to leave but we're stuck here," it's "we were never planning to leave, last time we left and nothing happened." I know people are stuck now though.
Jacksonville, I think.What part of the state is she located in?
FWIW, the storm has to go through most of the state to hit Jacksonville.Jacksonville, I think.
