Hurricane Matthew & its Effect : Florida, Georgia, South Carolina
Hurricane Matthew, now a Category 3 hurricane, is nearing the Florida East Coast with dangerous storm surge, destructive winds and flooding rainfall stretching into Georgia and South Carolina by the weekend.
Tropical storm-force winds have already been impacting Florida's east coast for the past several hours. Melbourne International Airport has gusted as high as 52 mph, so far. A 71-mph gust was recorded at Jensen Beach, Florida. A 71 mph gust was also reported in Vero Beach, Florida.
The eyewall, or the most destructive portion of a hurricane, is just mere miles off the coast of Vero Beach.
Will it Impact the Datacenter operations ? I can see power crisis is already predicted.

Doubt it. At least any big names that are used often by individual consumers.
DCs in Jacksonville may have problems, I think a good chunk of the city is on evacuation order. Orlando may get hit too.
HostDime has put up a statement on their website - http://www.hostdime.com/blog/hurricane-matthew-notice/
Vultr has also posted a notification on their status page, says they have enough fuel to run the generators for 48 hours.
Our MIA01 location in Miami is far enough south that it's not taking a major hit. I grew up in South FL, during hurricane Andrew. Thankfully this one isn't going to make a direct hit onto the most densely popualated areas in FL. Not that they aren't prepared but given the history of not taking as many hits I expect that areas like Orlando (should the hurricane push inland) and Jacksonville are just generally less prepared and potentially more at risk.
