A couple weeks ago, we got some really heavy rain in the city that I live in.
It was raining so taxing that it began to hail outside, my friend and I had a tornado warning due to the extreme weather.
The rain fell in the early part of the night plus lasted for less than an hour, however it was so much rain that my backyard was filled with water. I have a small drain inside my yard plus the water fills up inside of it. At first, I was anxious that the water would be so high that it would seep into my outdoor a/c condenser. Thankfully it did not, as the a/c condenser is locationd on a concrete pad in a corner near the wall. Heating plus Air Conditioning units are resilient pieces of device plus they are built to withstand extreme weather conditions. From hail to heavy winds plus rain to direct sunlight to blizzards, plus more, they should hold up in inclement weather. And of course, it makes sense that the a/c condenser is durable because they are kept outside where they will be exposed to awful weather. The only thing I am not quite sure they would survive is a lightning strike. I would believe that a lightning strike would cause severe disfigurement to the electrical components of the unit. In addition to the lightning strike, a power surge can also cause major disfigurement to the unit. The possibilities that my a/c condenser would get struck by lightning or face a power surge are slimto none. However, I do need to get the drain checked to avoid my yard from flooding again.
