Default Subsim mirrored in case lights out in Houston (???)

I was just wondering if this site is mirrored in such a way, so that if electricity drops in Houston for a while, we can still acquire updated page views. I think Neal lives there. Thanks.

The main servers (2) are at the EV1 datacenter in ....Houston (naturally). I think they will be ok, we may see some downtime if there are repeated electrical outages but I think with Rita passing north of H-town, there will be no effect.

Forget the servers I'm more concerned about the USS Cavalla down in Galvston.

Isn't it seaworth? Isn't it able to move away and submerge?

Who thought that Subsim.com couldn't stand a storm & a splash?
The datacenter closed hatches and switched from diesel to batteries.
Piece of cake!

That isn't a chimney (stack) on top of Neals house, it's a Snorkel!
