What to plan for in Peachtree City
- Lightning (relatively high): Lightning causes short outages and damages electronics. Surge protection and a battery that switches over automatically protect the things you care about.
- Tornadoes (relatively moderate): Tornado-season storms cut power quickly. A battery that switches on by itself, or a portable generator ready to go, covers the first night; sirens and weather radios need power too.
- Hail (relatively moderate): Hail is hard on rooftop solar; ask installers about impact-rated panels and your insurer about coverage.
