Common causes of data loss around Cedar Rapids

In June 2008, the Cedar River rose to a record crest and flooded large parts of downtown and nearby neighborhoods, and the city has worked on flood protection ever since. Heavy rain can still put water in basements across Linn County. Keep computers and backup drives off basement floors, store your second copy of important files upstairs or in the cloud, and if a device has been in floodwater, do not power it on. Seal it in a plastic bag and get it evaluated quickly.

In August 2020, a derecho swept across Iowa with hurricane-force winds that flattened trees and left much of Cedar Rapids without power for days, some homes for more than a week. Severe thunderstorms, tornado warnings, and winter ice storms are also part of life here. Use a UPS that shuts computers down cleanly, unplug equipment during strong storms, and let a laptop that sat in a freezing car warm up before you power it on.
