pretty much narrows it down to somewhere in Buffalo NY, I think.

Yes, the server is located and based out of Buffalo NY.

LQ actually has servers scattered around the country, but as you see the main colo is in Buffalo.

Actually most websites or at least most will be connected to back up generators but I don't think Buffalo was even affected by the blackout.
