What to plan for in Sandy Springs
- Lightning (very high): Lightning causes short outages and damages electronics. Surge protection and a battery that switches over automatically protect the things you care about.
- River and heavy-rain flooding (relatively high): Heavy rain can flood basements and take out power. Put sump pumps on backup power and keep equipment above the flood line.
- Tornadoes (relatively high): 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.
