Help! Zotero Library Missing

Please help! After doing some researching and digging it appears that my web libary has been deleted. I have been working diligently on my literature review for my dissertation and all of my recent files with tabs and notes are gone. I checked my desktop version and it says that it hasn't synced in the past 20 days and just spins, but doesn't add any files. My Zotero.sqlite size is smaller than expected and 24 PDFs are missing in the storage folder. Is there a way to recover my webnotes?

There was a server problem earlier today that could have affected the web library and syncing. If you view the web library now or sync the desktop app, you should see all your data. Sorry for the trouble.
