Players, coaches and 18,000 fans experienced a few moments of horror last night while watching Mississippi State and Alabama shoot it out in the SEC basketball tournament. A tornado struck the building. Many people thought it was a terrorist attack. So far no fatalities from the Georgia Dome strike, but 2 people have died in the area due to storm related incidents. It certainly won't hurt if you say prayers for these unfortunate families. You can read more about it at AccuWeather. Thanks Sue Ellen for the tip about this weather mayhem. Almost forgot, Mississippi State won 69 to 67 in overtime.
The weather here was intense. The actual storms hit early this morning after a night of on and off drizzle. It's been a while since the lightning and thunder have been that active. For around 45 minutes the beach house was drenched. Most of my day has been spent repairing weather induced problems with a client's network. After dialing into the the network and watching the BBU/AVR (battery back up) unit for 25 minutes, a replacement was acquired locally. When arriving a feint odor of carbon burning was detected in the server area. Even though the unit was ruined it had done a great job. Thank goodness THIS particular client's network has battery back up units on every computer and all network devices. Is your network this power secure? It should be...

Watches beside me in this windy place."
