I find that a closet door is doing the trick. Or maybe it's the dogs. Though I don't think your puppy would be a threat to Gnomad.

We're pretty disaster proof. We can be completely independent (with internet)  for a couple of days. With diesel supply we can run indefinitely... as long as we can pay for the diesel - we burn around 300 gallons an hour to support everything.  Our utility is pretty good though and we have multiple feeds from different substations. Also, we share a grid with a lot of other critical and city services, So we'll be back up soon if something goes down.

There is no such thing as a gnome safe room. Honestly it would be easier to make a meteor shield.

That would be very cool. Are you able to keep your internet up?  During Katrina, I followed a web-hosting company who broadcast live 24/7 through the storm and the aftermath.  It was pretty fascinating and probably useful to people who needed to know what was going on.  Not to mention great for convincing their clients about reliability.

ETA: but do you have a gnome safe-room?

BHD - just a Keurig, I'm thinking about a fancy machine, but I'm still stingy.  

The little bastid should get on the road again.

In our prep/review this morning we did discuss making a public phone charging station in our lobby. You have an invite to inside - we have a coffee machine too.

So if hell arrives via the Big One, we should come to your building?  My phone will need charging.

Yeah, I know - we've been prepping all week. Bet we have a new grid connection provisioned at work and all emergency systems are tuned and ready.

Mr. and Mrs. Hobiejoe were supposed to take him back to England in 2012. They snuck out in the middle of the night without him.

Frankly, I don't blame them.

Oh, and hang on to your hat! We're in for another blow. Then maybe a third one on Thursday.

I don't believe it - there is nothing closeted at the labs.

Kill it.

The actual dude is in a box in a closet somewhere around druid labs.
