Palm Bay is the most populous city in Brevard County on Florida's Space Coast, a largely residential city whose neighbors work in aerospace, defense, and technology across the region. Hurricanes, near-daily summer lightning, and relentless humidity are the main threats to home computers and drives here. When one fails, we recover it entirely by mail.
Central Florida has some of the most frequent lightning in the United States, and summer afternoon storms over Palm Bay can bring strikes, surges, and short outages several times a week. A nearby strike can send a surge through power or cable lines and damage a computer even when it is turned off. Use surge protection on both power and network connections, put desktops and NAS units on a UPS, and unplug equipment you do not need when a storm is overhead.
Hurricane season runs from June through November, and even a storm that passes offshore can bring days of power outages, flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, and wind-driven rain into homes. High humidity also lets corrosion build slowly on stored electronics. Before a storm, back up to the cloud, put backup drives in waterproof bags on a high shelf, and keep spare drives in air-conditioned space rather than a garage or shed.
