Over the holiday weekend our office building was struck by lightning. Computers, radios, networking, and an army of other equipment were destroyed. We had reasonable protection on all of
our equipment (UPS and photoisolation) but it didn't take care of the energy that was dancing around the inside walls. The scorch marks on the walls are impressive.
Where should we draw the line on premises wiring? Should we demand that the insurance company pay to have all of the networking replaced? One of my process control PCs survived the incident with only a blown Dialogic card and modem. Should I still replace the entire computer? If so, am I in for a fight with the
insurance company?
How have you dealt with this in regards to your own businesses, processes, and customers?
Thanks for your help.
