I’ve had a Davis Vantage Pro 2 weather station for some years.\u00a0 The corner of my block is 22 feet above sea level, which is about the highest point in south Florida (apart from Mount Trashmore).\u00a0 The station on my roof is about 44 feet above sea level.<\/p>\n
Florida has a very high rate of lightning strikes.\u00a0 The closer you are to the equator, the more powerful they are.\u00a0 My house has been hit a number of times.\u00a0 They’ve taken out several trees, my phones, my network, my alarm system and the latest hit my weather station.\u00a0 At first it seemed to be the USB port on the indoor console.\u00a0 I replaced that and got it working.\u00a0 Now the barometer and wind direction are not working.\u00a0 Temperature, humidity and wind velocity seem to be OK.<\/p>\n
