Mother Nature & Electronics

Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Ice Storms, etc.. Mother Nature seems to have her way of reminding us that we are simply occupants in her domain. Here in North East Texas, any ice accumulations or wind gusts exceeding 30 mph almost always results in power outages and damaged electronics.

There are many products that can protect your electronics under "normal" conditions. However, when a "weather event" is eminent, backup your computers, turn all your electronics off, and, unplug them (phone lines & cable too). Further, while monitors, printers, etc. can be replaced, you don't want to loose any of your data. Even if you think you have a backup, consider taking your main computer with you, or at least place the main computer in a "safe zone" in your building.
