Thunderstorm Blowing In

I was on my iPad when it lost contact. I looked out and the sky is completely overcast and almost dark. I thought my power had gone off but I turned on the TV and it’s working. Now I hear thunder. I came out on the deck and rain is already falling . I’m on my cell phone now and still don’t know why my iPad lost power. It’s been so hot I’ve wished for rain but not a thunderstorm.

We've missed all the major storms the past few days. It's cooler here now. It will heat up again next week.

@LindaOHio We’ll likely be up to a hundred or close by Tuesday.

We've got cloud cover but the forecast says we won't get rain tonight. Maybe tomorrow. I hope you figure out what's going on with your iPad.

The rain makes it a bit cooler. My internet must have gone off . My iPad wasn’t off long. It’s working well today.

@wolfgirl569 It shouldn’t bother me but when my power goes out everything is on hold until it comes back on. No IC no lights, noTV, no computer, no phone. No reading.

Keep safe Ruby. I am horrified of thunderstorms. I remember sleeping on the kitchen instead of my room because I was scared of it.

I’m usually not scared other than a tornado. Those do terrible damage.

Rain is so much better than thunderstorms but unfortunately we don't get to pick. Might your ipad have run out of juice?

@RubyHawk interesting that happened maybe the internet blinked off for a moment when the storm showed up but was reconnected by the time you checked your other device.

I'm with @Jimbo452020 -- I enjoy thunderstorms--(though my dog didn't) particularly when I can see the lightning. Sure wish one would come by here.

we had 24 hours of solid rain a couple of days ago so that should be enough rain for awhile.

I don't mind a thunderstorm if I'm at home, but that doesn't help all the others out driving in it.

Weird about the iPad. Did it lose power or just an Internet connection?
