Our server is in a datacenter in Brooklyn, NY that is, as of 5 pm today, under a mandatory evacuation order.
We don't expect physical damage to the server (the facility is on the 8th floor), however it's very possible that we would lose power or Internet connectivity during the hurricane tonight and tomorrow.
We have used resources from our general fund to lease a second server in Dallas, Texas that we've named "Irene". This afternoon, we preemptively moved Neopoet from our Brooklyn server to our temporary Dallas server.
Our Brooklyn server was configured especially for Neopoet, and uses special hardware and tuning deliver the best experience. It's possible that performance on the Dallas server, especially during peak times, will be less than optimal.
