Unfortunately it was plugged in but the power points were off, the storm was so bad and came in so quickly that I could not get outside to the Observatory to pull the leads, the hail was intense. I think the mount was damaged by the surge going through the RS232 cable attached to the computer, don't think one can anticipate that.
