Who Knew?
Many apologies if you have come to the site in the last few hours and found it offline or not operational. Our primary servers are in the northeast, a location we chose because we assumed it was safe from effects of earthquakes, wildfires, flooding and hurricanes (as Irene demonstrated last year). But apparently not from storms of the century. Who knew? Please check back with us later today when full functionality should be restored.
