You're lucky in a sense--it could have been so much worse!

Fiber or wireless is definitely a good extra measure, along with offsite backups, and good equipment insurance. Sorry this happened to you, Kier.

I'm using this as a opportunity to audit everything to make sure I don't have any holes in the setup, since it only takes one.

Actually getting upgraded from FTTN to FTTP soon. I'm going to have to be extra careful after seeing what happened to @Kier and his data systems.

Storms hampering getting upgraded. Boy we had a big one that was nasty.

the pink bits are how severe they were

Finally upgraded to FTTP here and the speeds are great.
Now in Autumn it is pouring down rain and a couple of storms, im lucky i didn't get flooded out.
It's just finished raining after starting at 3pm today (it's 11:45pm now)
30 mm of rain.

Lightning was really bad in my area a couple days ago. I was afraid it was going to strike my house or make the power go out in my neighborhood. Thankfully neither of things happened. My dogs were pretty amped up over it though.
