Need to leave Mylot now...heavy rain with thunderstorm here...

Sorry to hear that the weather is not behaving by you. It is actually a nice day here today and no sign of rain. I guess we take turns around the world and sadly today in your part it is your bad day. We will see you when you get back and hope that you are all safe.

We never had that before but when its heavy we always make sure to switch off the TV and the computer. It's raining last night right??(^^)

Hi myfb! I hope the weather there is fine now. I sometimes experience interruption in my internet connection but it's mostly because of the network's problem. Sometimes if there is a typhoon, internet will still be up.

What I really enjoy doing when it rains is sleeping. I would like to just wrap myself up warm and just sleep. But that is not always the case all the time.

Sorry to hear about the bad weather in your place my friend.Yeah, most of the time if there is heavy rain most probably the electricity will be cut off as a precautionary measures just in case and not to mention too the interference it may cause to our internet connection if ever there is electricity.The probability of accident if followed by thunderstorm.I also stop using my computer if there is thunderstorm with rain.Hope the rain stop soon so you can continue your mylotting.

Yup, same case here. The connection somehow becomes bad whenever it rains. So, what do you usually do when you're free and can't come online?

I do unplug my laptop when there is heavy lightening, although it does not interrupt my connection. I had my other laptop damaged once during a snow storm that had thunder and lightening.

Hi, myfb2009. Well, this past Saturday, we had a thunderstorm at night. This seems to be only the time that we usually will have a thunderstorm anyway. I hope that you are okay now and that you were not so affected by the thunderstorm at all. Take care of yourself and stay safe!

The weather at my place is sunny at the moment, but some weeks ago there was heavy rain and thunder. We were on our way home when it started and when we reached our house we ran all the way to the door to get inside as soon as possible. The thunder storm lasted for a long time, and I didn't want to use the internet during that kind of weather, so I read my book instead. My husband and I were afraid that some of the water would end up in our basement, but fortuneately it didn't happen.

It has been a while since we have had a thunderstorm. We were having them often for a couple of months. We are supposed to get some scattered storms this week. I turn off the electronics during storms too.

hello sis, Same here,it's too dark and rain stars to pour thu not too hard. I like it when it rains..but not thunderstorm/s. I suddenly lost my internet connection when there is power cut-off and that really makes me feel bad when I am having fun with friends and mylotters (hehehe) See you soon dear sis and take care jaiho®

We've been very lucky since we've lived in this house because in the three and a half years that we've owned the house, the electricity has only been knocked out once. When that happened, we were lucky because it was during the night and our electronics were not on. However, I do have everything hooked up through a surge strip and battery backup so I really don't worry about a storm hitting my connections.

Hi mybf: Og that's really sad. It has sometimes happened and I fee a little bit frustrated because I'd lose a special time that I dedicated to the site. I try to do another activity that would be important for me to avoid the feeling that I'm losing my time. Unfortunetly you can't control these situations. ALVARO

So far my internet connection has never been interrupted by bad weather. Unless there should be a black out and that's another thing.

It kept looking like rain all day long here but all we got were a few sprinkles and that was it. I'm glad though because we often lose power.

Yeah, I certainly understand you. The weather has been pretty disturbing these days. Just about every evening, heavy rain comes together wuth the thunderstorm. I turn off the TV and the computer too when the thunderstorm comes. I am afraid that the lightenings would hit the cable connectios. That can be very dangerous.

I have been online before and didn't even know there was a storm near by. Never had a problem. WHen I know there is a storm I do go offline. Haven't had any weird weather recently. Been about 95 on average daily. I hope it continues. Next month we have some bad weather. Cheyenne Autuman and all as we usually have.

Hello myfb2009, Same here in INDIA its been raining all day yesterday.I am afraid of power cuts in rainy season but never experienced internet connection been hit by rain/thunderstorm but i will be bit careful now.It really sucks when internet don't work when you are working.It happened with me around 15 days ago as connection became so slow as i have to type responses on note pad and then paste it on the discussions that was so irritating.

It's been raining a lot lately around here I can't remember the last time I've seen the sun come out a few hours ago we had hard rain and crazy wind it was so scary.

yes myfb, the internet connection is getting bad even if there is a cloudly environment. I dont know whether it is because of dampness made in the cable or anything else but you will definitly lose half of your bandwidth and if you are a usb modem user then you will lose the entire signal and that would be a disaster
