Title: Just road threw the hurricane, continued to mine
Post by: joshuajones02 on September 11, 2017, 04:29:11 AM
Completely unsure how but I'm on SW Florida and everyone I know has lost power and I have been standing strong still mining to this moment. There were a couple brown pits but I was back up immediately.

Glad you are okay.

I would think some miners are down.

Stay safe man, glad to hear everything worked out for you and the storm missed you. I don't know if I would tough it out or not, but I would have probably shut my miners down for awhile due to all the lightning and flooding. A short somewhere on the electrical grid from a lightning strike or a substation shorting out from flooding could potentially cause electrical spikes to travel to your house and fry some rigs.

You should shut down your rigs. Whenever there is power browning you can destroy all your computer equipment.

Most PSUs don't have equate protection for this. During a low voltage swing, all your caps will get destoryed due to huge inrush current that makes up for the low voltage.
