Common causes of data loss around Bellingham

Bellingham's maritime climate means long stretches of rain and damp air from fall through spring, and in November 2021 a series of atmospheric river storms caused severe flooding in Whatcom County, especially along the Nooksack River. Persistent humidity is hard on electronics stored in basements, garages, and sheds, where corrosion can form on connectors and circuit boards over time. Keep computers and backup drives in heated, dry rooms, off floors that could take on water, and never power on a device that has been wet until it has been evaluated.

Northern Whatcom County also gets cold, gusty outflow winds from the Fraser Valley in winter, bringing sudden freezes, snow, and ice that can bring down trees and power lines. In some summers, wildfire smoke from British Columbia and eastern Washington settles over the area for days, and fine particles get pulled into computer fans. Use a UPS for desktops and NAS units, let devices warm up indoors before switching them on after cold exposure, and clean dust and smoke residue from vents after smoky periods.

Data recovery in Bellingham — common questions

My camera got wet on a hike near Mount Baker. Can the photos on the memory card be saved?+

Usually the card itself is more resilient than the camera. Remove the card, do not keep testing it in different readers, and let it dry at room temperature without heat. If the card no longer reads or shows as empty, stop using it and confirm your case online. Writing new photos to the card is the fastest way to lose the old ones for good.
