    iWebmasters is down due to the storm, info inside

    100 mph typhoon winds have knocked out the power for 43 million people in the Philippines. Manila has taken a direct hit. I'll post updates as I get them but rest assured that no customers will be charged for downtime. Right now I'm more worried about the safety of everyone there. Please stay tuned.

              I hope everyone is safe and sound. I know you guys will get everyone up and running again as soon as possible.

              I know our thoughts go out to these guys. I just got back from New Orleans (where the Falcons got killed by the Saints) and I have all kinds of respect for the forces of nature.

                The good news is that our office is in the middle of the financial district and thus will be one of the first to get power back. I'm getting reports that they are 75% we'll have power tomorrow.

                The bad news is that the employees will still need to get from their homes to the office and we don't know how bad that situation is.

                    I hope they are all shielded either in their homes or the office and that they are as safe as they can be.

                    Positive thoughts sent to your crew.

                      Thanks, make sure your people in your office know why their team in Manila is MIA.

                        It was crazy. I have heard it was the worst many here have seen. Windows blown out, cars flipped over, trees down. (I live 2 blocks from Rick's offices).

                        I am on 34th floor, my building was swaying 3 inches back and forth.

                        I am sure everyone will be ok. I think your guys and gals went home early, if they made it in at all.

                                      Only a few of my people have working phones at the moment. I'm hearing reports that the power is coming back on in many areas and we should be operational this evening, U.S. time. The question remains, what percent of the people will show up to work this evening. Regardless, we are on the case and mobilizing relief efforts for any employees in need of assistance.

                                            Rick -

                                            Paul and Ermy were stuck in the office yesterday aftertoon/evening PH time....couldn't go outside. Bless their hearts...they were working on going through resumes for recruitment The last correspondance I had from Angelito was through them at around 1pm PH time in regards to night shifts.

                                            A few of my employees I have setup on PDA phones and they have been feeding me updates on everyone in Bluewire's situation through their email (up until their phone batteries died). Steve said it was the worst one he can remember (He's 30).

                                            Its times like this that you start your work day worried about your business/schedule and end the day worried about your employee's safety....

I'll post updates as I get them but rest assured that no customers will be charged for downtime. Right now I'm more worried about the safety of everyone there. Please stay tuned.

                                                                                        The rain and the wind had ceased at around 4:30 to 5pm. The real problem was the devastation it had caused. Most of it had to do with goveernment recklessness. The towering billboards didn't follow the proper construction regulations such that they were built too close to the freeways.
