[Cialug] IHDC: EdgeBCC

Team Technologies, which has a datacenter up here in CF likes to 
advertise that they are outside of most 'threat' zones:
Rolling blackouts
Flood zones (they recently added that one)
Hurricanes
Seismic
Terrorism
They even have a map describing where these threats are located: 
http://www.team-companies.com/#/Companies/InteractiveMap

They do raise a bit of a point, if you are planning on staying up 
through a disaster, you could be doing worse.
