Fox News is reporting that there is an operation underway to refill 
chillers at the Bell South building down the street to keep phone service 
available to much of the southeast United States. That is apparently where 
all the firetrucks are going to in the area, in case you were wondering.

It is interesting to note that it is possible to bring in diesel and water 
to resupply BellSouth yet it is impossible to bring in water and food for 
the residents, not to mention a fleet of small boats that could have 
prevented thousands from dying trapped inside their attics.

If you have a datacenter in a location that might be flooded by rivers or 
storm surges, do you have inflatable rafts among your emergency supplies?
