@pikesley I wonder if there are any datacenters underground?

@Hierarchy @pikesley I work for a university in the Midwest US and around 15 years ago it built a datacenter capable of withstanding an F5 tornado. I think it's partly underground. This was back when "cloud computing" was the buzzword of choice.

@lafnlab @pikesley thats incredible! What is the name of the datacenter and are there any documentaries about it?

@Hierarchy @pikesley No documentaries I know of, but some news articles. This one is probably most detailed:
