Your basement can have 5' of mud water.

OMG
Holy shit... thats terrible
You're not kidding. That's going to leave a softlayer of mud, feces, and whatever else.
Shitty servers, this time for real... Horrible :O
P.S. that was SL's office space, not DC.
Looks like a scene from the titanic.
Nah, that pic's from when the neighbor's septic tank broke.
I'm aware. I just feel terrible for people in flooded areas
Hope they don't increase bandwidth pricing cos it already hurts!
I believe those are just the softlayer offices not a datacenter. Most datacenters avoid building in areas known for flooding. For example the Level3 datacenter in Houston is much more inland. Also datacenters generally don't build out basements like that..

none. You would have to wipe out complete NA or Europe to see a effect.

A moment of silence for all (4) of the basement hosts.
RIP Music Connection BBS.
Yes, datacenters should be safe.

Cat-5 rated. Not even CAT-5e, huh?
Seen a pic of an old folks home where they're chest deep in water. crazy.
Has there been any datacentres having issues? By datacentre, i mean non-residential.
Mumbai too seeing the worst flood in a decade. Affecting daily life of millions.
Yep, This is how the train station looks like.
(In case you were wondering, trains are still running)
Contrast that with the UK where the list of reasons for train cancellation include being too hot, too cold, rain, bright sunlight, a bird on the track, a signalling failure...
A bird on the track is a valid n genuine reason
I doubt it. They still have cowcatchers don't they? It's really hard to stop or damage a train.
Yes.
Why not CAT6?
Why not CAT-TLe?
