Common causes of data loss around Reading

The Schuylkill River runs along Reading's western edge and has a long history of flooding, including the severe floods from Hurricane Agnes in 1972. Heavy summer storms and the remnants of tropical systems can still bring flash flooding to low streets and basements. Many rowhomes have basements where computers, backup drives, and old electronics end up stored. Keep devices off basement floors, store a backup outside the house, and never power on a device that has been in floodwater.

Winters bring snow, ice storms, and cold snaps that cause outages, and older rowhomes and converted industrial buildings may have dated wiring and too few grounded outlets for modern electronics. Summers are hot and humid, with thunderstorms and lightning. Use a UPS with surge protection for desktops and network storage, let devices warm up after coming in from the cold, and have questionable wiring checked before running computers and space heaters together.
