Fight hurricanes with redundancy? Did I actually read that right? (it is quite early here)

Yes, in this case redundancy is a good thing. Unlike Descents posts of goatse.

It's comforting to know that my favorite dumping grounds will be sheltered from the storm. They must keep the database well underground. I mean, they said it could take a hit from an F5 Tomato. Considering an F5 can strip concrete from the ground.

One problem, if your theory is correct, and it is under ground. What about all of the rain associated with a hurricane?

Your shitty Perry nuclear power plant already caused the big blackout of 2004, and even I lost power, in fucking Long Island New York! And there was zero looting in NYC!

Death to Ohio.
