Previous: New Businesses Starting With Fewer Employees We sent out an email to our newsletter readers earlier today alerting people to the fact our office is most likely going to be in the path of hurricane Irene. We're hoping it turns out to sea, but as of today (Friday), that didn't seem likely. Our office and our employees' homes are all far enough from the shoreline that flooding is not likely to be a problem. Falling trees and blowing objects as well as loss of power could be, problems, though. Because of those threats, here's what the local Walmart shopping center looks like this afternoon:
Milk was hard to come by this morning at the local supermarket, though they may have gotten a delivery later in the morning.
Batteries that fit flashlights and radios were sold out early in the week.
For those who didn't get the email I sent to our newsletter list, if the storm does hit Long Island, it's very possible that we won't have power or internet service for a day or more. If the storm does not damage the infrastructure that feeds bandwidth to ISPs, our websites should remain up, even if we don't have power. The webservers are colocated at a facility that is not likely to be hit very hard by the storm, and which has a generator to keep things going if they do have a power failure. If you need to reach us next week and no one answers the phone in the office, send email to sales@businessknowhow.com. We will have someone outside of the storm area monitoring that email for us (provided the entire East Coast internet doesn't go down.)
