Well we will probably see the end of the internet someday - you can almost bet on that one. Though the day may be years or less...or more away. We don't know. We do know, though that great inventions happen and things change.
However, I do say check your facts. The hurricane hit well enough away from EV1 and on the western side for that matter. Ev1 is a large company indeed although I do not believe it went down like everyone said. I have servers and sites with ev1 and noticed nothing myself. However, if it did go down there are certainly a lot of sites...however dcs have gone offline (take some of the northern ones in the blackouts) yet the net worked just fine.
There is always going to be a small minority predicting the doom of this or that...but, you can't always believe them.
