A fan blew on weather2.admin.niu.edu, and, unfortunately, before the computer

I am installing CentOS 6.4 on there right now. After that, I will try to
restore from backup. I hope to have it running by 5 PM tomorrow. In the
interim, weather and weatehr3.admin.niu.edu are happily serving data; please
make sure that you have those in your backups. Since you should already have
them in your backups, this is an information notice only.

As of 9:15 CT Friday (2:15 GMT Saturday), weather2.admin.niu.edu is back
on the air. However, my latest backup was a dud, and I had to restore
from an older backup. If you are being denied and you had access to a feed
on there, PLEASE let me know. Thanks!
As for the blown fan and hard drive...the motor was shot on the fan, and
the hard drive, which gave me issues on and off for 4 years...two words:
Hulk SMASH! ;-)
