Here's the latest information we have on the website: When the state office building suffered an electrical power surge on Monday, it caused the battery backup on the server to kick in. The battery isn't designed to sustain operations. It's purpose is to provide enough power for the server to shut itself down in a controlled manner when there's a power problem. That way, when the power's restored, the server can be restarted. That is what happened. Unfortunately, the disks that store all the data and images are separate from the server. Somehow, when the server was restarted, something caused everything on the disks to be wiped out. Supposedly, the technicians have restored the connection between the disks and the server. Now the data and images must be loaded from the backup tapes. That should be happening right now, but there's no guarantee when the site will be back in operation. Check back with the blog tomorrow for the latest news.
