Socrates is Up but Irma Has Impacted Our Independent Data Feed

While Socrates is not located in Florida and all our sites are also not dependent upon one location, unfortunately, one of our data provider operates on servers in Boca Raton, Florida. They obviously do not have backups out of the region and the power is down. The Socrates site is up as is our blog. We are working to update data from an alternative source. We have been testing another data provider, but we have not yet implemented that into the system for we are still testing the data.

We will Advise As Soon As Our Data Feed is Back Up
