Is Chip screwing us over (Stockcharts)???

I hear you. I noticed that the site was down before market open today. Obviously they had no disaster mitigation capability in place. But it looks like most of Seattle lost power starting last night sometime.

Park...If they have problems then I understand that they are down...that is not my complaint...But are you trying to say that no one at Stockcharts could get a hold of Network Solutions to redirect their domain to a page that explained what was going on in one sentence so jillions of us wouldn't continually waste our time all day trying to get onto the site today?

That is bad business...I'll wait to hear the whole story before making a final judgement...But this better be a good story

hey Doug, how much data center redundancy do you need? They are having flooding of Biblical proportions all over Seattle today.

Maybe the building shown in this article (at the bottom of a large hole) is the one hosting the stockcharts.com web servers?

Sinkhole causes flooding in West Seattle

By CASEY McNERTHNEY
P-I REPORTER

When Jim Jackson bought his West Seattle home a little more than a month ago, he planned to stay there for years and enjoy a short commute from his office nearby.

But after runoff from a sinkhole surrounded his home with mud and flooded his basement Friday, Jackson's home may be in jeopardy.

[Moin Kadri, left, an engineering geologist, and Jim Jackson explore a 6-foot-deep sinkhole at the corner of Southwest Thistle and Northrop Place Southwest in West Seattle, which they believe contributed to a mudslide that ended in Jackson's backyard a few hundred feet away.]

Sand and mud piled against his front door was more than 3 feet high, and the water distribution channels he formed Thursday night made his front walkway look like a construction site.

"I have no power, no heat; I'm just stuck," said Jackson, who lives on Southwest Thistle Street. "I'm waiting for the city to determine if it's safe to live here. I'm not sure if it was knocked off its foundation."

A sidewalk at the intersection of Southwest Thistle Street and Northrop Place Southwest was severed from the sinkhole, which was an estimated to be10 feet deep and 12 yards wide.

An uprooted tree was draped over the alley leading to Jackson's house, suspended only by power lines.

Neighbors said two drains at the intersection of Thistle and Northrop were cleared at 4 p.m Thursday, but were clogged again by 4:30 and water was at least two feet deep. Jackson said the sinkhole occurred before 5 p.m., and he worked past midnight to clear sand and mud from his property.

Jackson said it seems obvious that water had been collecting underground for weeks by the way water broke through a brick wall along his front walkway instead of cascading over the street edge.

"That amount of water didn't just happen in one storm," said Jackson, 58, who said he suspected the water line was neglected. ...

OK...Detective Doug calls Chip...No answer...So I do some checking and find out there was some disasterous Pacific NW storm today...They are in Redmond along with MSFT...OK...No problem...I can live with that...But you know what...I can redirect any one of my 20+ site addy's to another address in about 60 seconds...There is absolutely no reason that Chip...or if he is unavailable...one of the stockcharts employees couldn't have gotten Network Solutions to redirect the address to a page that explains that they are having problems...But maybe I am too optimistic...Maybe everyone who works for Stockcharts got killed in the storm today...If that happened then I'll forgive them.

This is bad business...And I don't think I'm the best person to tick off...They better have a great excuse and offer or I'm gonna be doing alot of typing

This is BS...Stockcharts.com was down all day...although I was able to briefly get on about 1/2 hr after the market closed.

As a site owner I know web problems occur...But it has been screwed up for at least 14 hours...Anyone know what's going on???

No, but I would like a refund for the missing time...
