> It seems silly that so many datacenters are in central Texas, where not only are tornados and tropical storms fairly common, but it's hot and humid for 7 months out of the year. I thought most of the data centers were around Dallas or Austin. Those are both too far away to really feel tropical storms and are seldom hit by tornados. About the only thing you seem to have right are the heat and humidity, except I'm not sure 7 months is crediting it with enough.
