That's like building a house near a volcano in hawaii, and wondering why it caught fire when the lava started flowing. Should'nt there be a system of redundancy in place? Millions of dollars go through I Bill a month, it's a shame that some wind makes everything go tits up. Well, with that being said, it's obvious what needs to be improved over there.
Ditch those web good pages too while you're at it lol.

Since when did it take us down? We scaled back operations but took processing during this period. While we experienced issues there was always another plan. For example, we have a 500 gallon diesel generator that gets tested every week. Yet, it can break down and did after an extended period. Unfortunately, it can be little difficutl in the middle of a rather large storm to get it repaired. Thus, we cut over to a back up pre-planned and built out facility out of state. I can't give all of the details of what happened this weekend but there were a lot of good people working hard to keep things running during a very tough time.
