NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information website is down, as is their database of billion-dollar weather and climate disasters.
Why? Likely because NCEI is based in Asheville NC.
Climate-fueled unnatural disasters spare no-one and nothing.

For the website, why isn't there a fail-over? Maybe nobody thought about a lifetime-level flood from a hurricane. I can understand that. But there should have been a 'what if power goes out?' scenario in the DR book.
(I'm just a peon that works on the GFS, just curious for my own knowledge.)
Keeping the backup region pilot lights lit is expensive- large amounts of data replication, admin hours to make sure it works. Can only afford do it for the critical sites.
