Common causes of data loss around Gainesville

Florida leads the country in lightning, and Gainesville's almost daily summer thunderstorms bring strikes that can surge through power and network lines and damage computers, routers, and drives together. Gainesville's large oaks and pines also come down onto lines when hurricanes and tropical storms move inland, leaving neighborhoods without power for days. Use a surge protector or UPS for every computer, unplug during strong storms, and keep a cloud or off-site backup so a single strike or outage does not wipe out a semester of work.

The heat and humidity of North Florida are hard on electronics, especially in older apartments with weak air conditioning or during outages when homes close up and heat up. Humid air slowly corrodes connectors, and laptops left in hot cars can overheat. Keep devices in cool, dry rooms, let electronics adjust before powering them on after they come in from a humid car, and never leave your only backup drive in the same backpack as your laptop.
