I called SDG&E and found out that they had experienced a power outage in the next town (Laguna Niguel) and that it had affected a number of circuits in Dana Point. The engineer that I spoke to was candid about what happened, but a guy from SDG&E came out last night and was giving me a line about "there could be a number of reasons why my hard drive died" seemingly to establish a lack of responsibility on their part.
If anyone has knowledge about situations like this I'd like to hear about it. I'm wondering about what actually happened that could bypass my surge protectors and UPS?
Also, since my Maxtor drive was "killed," do you think that my system has sustained damage that won't show up immediately and if so, how should I approach the electric company for compensation?
