On Saturday, at approximately 5:45 PM CST, the data center in Houston where our server is located, had an electrical event.
What this did was cause an explosion which blew out the electrical room completely, including three walls. No servers in the data center were damaged but they were unable to leave generators running and power was off the rest of the weekend. This shut down 9,000 servers, including ours.
I've restored the site from backups and I'm working to sync the database so no post or PM information in the forums is lost. Everything should be back up and running monday afternoon, although it may take some time for everyone to regain full access to the site because of dns propagation.
