Common causes of data loss around Charlotte

The Charlotte region is especially vulnerable to ice storms. Freezing rain coats trees and power lines across the area's heavy tree canopy, and the major December 2002 ice storm left well over a million Carolinas customers without power, some for days. Long outages, and the repeated flickers as crews restore service, cause abrupt shutdowns that corrupt file systems and surges that damage electronics. Keep desktops and network storage on a UPS, shut down cleanly when an ice storm is forecast, and leave sensitive equipment unplugged until power is stable.

Hurricanes reach Charlotte too. Hugo in 1989 caused major damage and outages far inland, and in 2024 Helene, which devastated the mountains of western North Carolina, also brought damaging winds and widespread power outages to the Charlotte area. Summer thunderstorms add frequent lightning and flash flooding along creeks. Keep a recent backup offsite or in the cloud, keep electronics off the floor in basements and lower levels, and don't power on anything that has been in water; seal it in a bag and have it evaluated.
