This time last year tornados ripped through Joplin, MO and Tuscaloosa, Alabama causing massive devastation. If you were fortunate, you only had to suffer through minor interruptions of utility services, with others paying a far steeper price. In fact, John Motazedi, a colleague of ours who also offers IT services had his office in Joplin reduced to a pile of rubble (see photo). 50% of his clients suffered the same fate.
