I used to do tech support for a company that specializes in disaster recovery and high availability software.
This happens every year starting about this time.
Once hurricane season starts everybody has to test their disaster recovery plan and since there is fairly large percentage of folkes that don't read the documentation and just install it, try to configure it and then just walk away until it is time to pull the trigger.
Well, lets just say that business for that companies tech support will be picking up steam.
Can you imagine trying to mirror 3 or 4 busy production SQL servers over a T-1, or over 2 business class comcast cable connections and a vpn tunnel?!?
*Caution...you are doing it wrong!*

Servers from the north east coast of South America all the way up to the U.S. eastern seaboard are going to try to failover in the next month or so.
So you just killed your target, the upside is that it can be rebuilt and re-mirrored in 7 days.
The downside...um, is that the cat 4 is 5 days out.
