I do a lot with org-wide data, so yeah. Fucking pisses me off.

I won't go into details, but me, a colleague, a mobile hotspot, and a friend kayaking 4L of wine in through flood waters to the balcony we were stuck on. Saved some lives getting medical records out to hospitals and got pay to just under 20K people, all be it a couple days late. Hey, we were knackered and the wine came on day 3 once we were done.

Redundancies for when power and internet issues occur, kids. Saves lives. Got my own shit going on during natural disasters. Don't really feel like botching infrastructure because HQ is under and no one planned for it.
