Our data center is in Tampa Bay, which is atm forecasted for a direct hit from hurricane Milton so there is a possibility for service disruption. I'll update if I learn anything new.

I read somewhere that if you pre-flood the data center before the hurricane hits, then you don't have to worry about the storm surge knocking it out! :wink:

I understand that hurricane Milton was far enough south of Tampa Bay that the wind field actually drew water from Tampa Bay. It was not good for those further south, particularly south of Sarasota, FL, in the SE quadrant of the hurricane.
