I know we are getting concerned here considering the temps are supposed to be record-breaking across the entire local NWS area today before the front moves thorugh, with concerns about strong winds and thunderstorms. In one respect, most of the leaves have finally dropped from the trees (albeit late) so that helps reduce surface area that could cause any strong winds to uproot them, but we still have a lot of weakened trees from the past storms. I have had to use small UPS units over the past 20 years to help protect my electronics (bought a couple new replacements a couple months ago that I have been in the process of swapping in). They are good for at least keeping my internet up for a few hours as long as whatever is out in the street isn't out too.
