"Katrina, as she was dubbed by the National Weather Service presented several key challenges to directNIC.com, as we're only a few blocks from the waterfront in downtown New Orleans."

"... a small group of key personnel stayed behind to safeguard our data center and make sure that all of our services remained online and stable. During this time, while we spent a great deal of effort battling broken windows, incoming water, and flying debris, our hosting and registration services remained online and worked flawlessly. We even created a blog which was featured on CNN, and webcam coverage throughout the ordeal. "

Poor NOC staff. They always get shafted when natural disasters come through.

"I don't want to be the materialistic weasel here, but do you think we'll get hazard pay for this?"

I wouldn't care about hazard pay, but they would have to sign something saying that they could never, ever, fire me for any reason.
