I wouldn't say "taken out". But it did have a lot of damage and
nobody is working at the headquarters. Talking to one of the guys
behind the counter at the Starbucks in my building, it'll probably be
closed into next week. Turns out that half of the employees in the
US get paid today, and the other half next Friday. The guy said that
*neither* group will be getting their paychecks because there's
nobody to do the processing since the headquarters are closed.
