Hi Everyone - This blog is technically "closed" but I wanted to let anyone from DST know what's going on.
There was a fire at the database center last night. Erick woke me this morning before he left and said DST should be back up in a few hours so I was just waiting it out. But we've received a more current update from Nick.
Nick said that based on reports, he doesn't anticipate any data loss. But everything did get wet. The power is out in the database center and they have to wait for things to dry out. He hopes to have things back up tonight but if there is extensive damage to the routers, he already has a back-up router ordered to be over-night shipped and he will activate it tomorrow.
Thank you for your patience as Casual Tuesday gets everything going again. These things are out of everyone's control and we're praying for them as both friends and business partners that the damage is as minimal as possible!

Late Night Update:
Just got this from Nick:
The data center is back up and limping along.... to be up 100% we are going to need some of the equipment that will arrive tomorrow.
To the best of my knowledge, the server is dry, it just hasn't been powered up yet. So all signs are pointing to no long term damage, and no data loss....
I will know more in the morning after things get powered up and the new equipment is installed...

oh Shannon, how terrible! Have been sending you good thoughts all day, I'm glad the damage isn't worse and hopefully nobody was hurt. Take your time, and we'll be here when you get back!
Thanks Shannon, I was wondering myself. Feels like I lost an arm! LOL. Prayers for you and the company.
Funny how having one day without DST makes me feel like I wander aimlessly on the internet!! Hehe!
I hope everything gets worked out for you and DST without too much of a headache!
Thank goodness no one was hurt. I will keep you all in my prayers. Thanks for the update.
I too was wondering if it was my connection. Thank you for the update Shannon...I didn't realize I was such an addict, until I couldn't get on for a day!! LOL!!!
Sorry to read about the post below as well...but that is totally understandable!!
Thanks again,

oh shannon, thanks for keep us updated!
I pray for you and erick, that you get it fixed soon, so that you don't have to much stress
Well I sure hope it all goes smoothly today when they power up!! How stressful this must be for everyone!
Look at the bright side... No forums/galleries to monitor :) Did you get a little more rest than usual at least?? (((HUGS))) Girl!!
And sorry about the idiots below...I am not one to read many blogs on a regular basis, so I had no idea you had stopped posting(although i just happened so I am not totally out of the loop)...
Shannon,
Thank you for posting even if this blog is closed. I am sorry to hear about the fire. I do hope that the damage is not to intense and that you and Eric do not have to much work on your hands. Keep calm and take ond thing at a time. Us preg need to keep things in prospective and not go overboard. I will pray for a quick turn around and that DST is back on it's feet ASAP. See you around later.
