Pasadena, Texas is an industrial city in Harris County on the Houston Ship Channel, lined with refineries and petrochemical plants and close to NASA's Johnson Space Center, with San Jacinto College's central campus in town. Hurricanes, extreme rainfall, Gulf Coast heat and humidity, and grid failures are what usually destroy data here. Whatever the cause, we recover it by mail.
Pasadena sits on flat, low ground along the Ship Channel near Galveston Bay, and storms like Hurricane Ike in 2008 and Hurricane Harvey in 2017 brought wind, surge, and record rainfall that flooded homes and streets across the area. When flooding is possible, move computers and drives off the floor, back up to the cloud, and take a portable drive if you evacuate. If a device sat in floodwater, do not power it on. Seal it in a bag and get it evaluated quickly.
Gulf Coast heat and humidity are constant pressures on electronics, and the February 2021 winter storm showed that the Texas grid can fail for days, with power returning in surges. Industrial areas also bring fine dust and soot that build up in computer vents. Keep the air conditioning or a dehumidifier running where computers live, clean vents regularly, and use a UPS with surge protection so desktops and network storage can shut down cleanly during an outage.

Data recovery in Pasadena — common questions
My computer flooded during a hurricane. How soon do I need to act?+
