Aug 19, 2014 - Outage

[John Adams]

As you might have seen by the park page I had up, Phoenix was decimated again by summer storms - the worst I have seen since I moved here in 1990. I did not lose power, nor did I lose internet, but for some reason my old ESX host running the web server rebooted and hung - thus the site was down til I could get home from work and fix it.

When I walked into my house, I was met by a dreadful surprise. It rained so hard today, twice, my back yard could not handle the volume of water, so it came into the house destroying my wood flooring and a few furnishings. The bedrooms are trashed. Carpet is soaked (and stinky). Most of the water in this photo is soaked into the flooring:

Who would ever think of flood damage in the desert? Not this guy.

I think it's time I relocate these sites to GoDaddy hosting and be done with this hardware. In fact, I think I'm done with Arizona entirely... but that's another story for another time.

Damn that sucks you should move to Las Vegas

[Dakadin]

Wow! Sorry to hear about that.

[Faux]

Thats awful, John! I hope you get everything sorted quickly and your insurance doesnt hassle you about flooding in a desert.

[ArtofWar]

Ugh, Sorry for that John, hope it all wasn't as bad as it looked in that shot. And agreed, move! we will take you up north here, we have lots of space
