Correcting bad data

[rlee171]

Had a rather severe thunderstorm the night of 4/4/14. My Vantage Vue was unfortunately spanked around 4:30 am. The alarm on my console woke me up with I thought it was my UPS beeping. When I realized it was the console, it was displaying outside temp "----" and humidity of 100%. I reset the console, rebooted the PC, same result. Went to my website and saw that the last update showed something ridiculous like a temp of -69. Fortunately I have a spare sensor suite I snagged awhile back anticipating the very good possibility of this scenario with our regular round of Spring time thunderstorms. I was able to get the station back up this morning and my website is being updated.

I have read Steve's well drafted Wiki and searched the forum for related circumstances. My question is this, I have edited the yesterday.ini, today.ini and the alltime.ini, is there anything else that I may have missed?

Thanks,

month.ini, year.ini and monthlyalltime.ini are all likely to have been affected. The easiest way to fix, if no records have genuinely been broken, is to stop Cumulus and copy the files from the backup folder taken just after midnight.
