As I am sure everyone has seen on various news programs, websites and social media, the flooding in Tennessee is horrible. What most people don't think about is the effect this flood has on technology.

An e-mail with 10 "FW:" in the subject line landed in my inbox this morning with some tragic pictures (below) of the Opryland Hotel. More frightening than the pictures, was a comment from a friend of mine...

"The pictures were taken on May 11th. They were in the middle of preparing a Disaster Recovery program. Most of their infrastructure has been destroyed, as well as their PBX and IT equipment as well as their Call Center for several of their properties."

...the worst part of that quote is the "...in the middle of preparing a Disaster Recovery program..."
