Hello.............I speak from last years Hurricane Charley. After the electricity was restored there were NUMEROUS electrical disturbances as the power company restored the whole area. This lasted for several months. My backup UPS also supplies a regulated, filtered power supply. I can't say enough on how important this is to sensitive electronics.

It's also hard to imagine how many well intentioned folks hooked up their generators to their main circuit panel but DID NOT turn off the main breaker. They sent current out of their homes to unsuspecting places. This can be dangerous. More people here were killed after the storm during the cleanup, than during the storm itself. Please be smart!! -charley
