Power Damage
I haven't been able to use the workshop since the storm. It looks like one phase overvolted significantly. The printers still seem to work - they were turned off - but I have lost the microscope power supply, bench USB supplies (several), and all the charger units for my DeWalt power tools which are now useless as they're older XRP models. The RepRapMicron is on a 25 year old "survivor bias" PSU built like a tank, and that still works. A few other odds and sods don't.
Most annoying. Still, the things that were running on the backup inverter have survived. I still have my laptop and screens. Obviously I have a lot of fixing to do. We'll see what we can get running.

Sorry to hear about the power spike - we are all vulnerable to that. Where I am the lights flicker off and on again probably once per week. It is just a matter of time until it all goes horribly wrong. The power tool chargers sound expensive - glad to hear the printers made it through.
