I am responding on behalf of Mike Chrismer.  You should have stopped
receiving data from ADKS, LKHU and NETP on JD243.  There was a
construction mishap at the HGCSD office which required all computer and
communications systems to be taken offline to prevent damage to them. 
Specifically a roofing contractor failed to provide adequate overnite
protection after removing portions of the roof seal and an unexpected
early morning deluge flooded a large part of the building.  Since
Tuesday disaster recovery experts have been working to remove the water,
dry out the walls and repair damage.  We do not know when it will be
finished.  Tomorrow, Mike may be able to start reassembling the CORS
data logging and storage center but full operability may not happen
until next week if everything works according to plan.  The top priority
of HGCSD is to restore core capability to administer the programs and
permits as they tend to be of a more time sensitive nature.  We will
advise when the CORS are restored.
