A hailstorm blew in just after 7pm on July 13 and at about 7:20pm we lost power. At 7:45 or so I lost power to the Internet and network switches, about 5 minutes later the web server battery ran out. The weather station laptop stayed online. Just over an hour after the power went out, it was restored. The software running the weather station then had some issues reconnecting back to the network, so a reboot of the weather laptop was required. By 9pm all systems where running properly.
Looks like I'll need to get a bigger battery UPS to keep the web server up longer. I was surprised that the Internet and switches went down first as the battery backup is the same as the web server. The modem and switches must be drawing a lot of power!
