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 just had another storm, but it wasn't as intense as last night. It is clear right now, I hope it stays that way..

@snowy22315 Our Storm is already passing over. I hoped it would rain through the night. I’m thinking it will be hot tomorrow.

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.

@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.

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.

@MarshaMusselman I think that’s what happened. It’s okay now.

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.

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

Yes, thunderstorm is quite hazardous! Did you get your ipad working again?

@oahuwriter It isn’t the electricity. I think it was a blimp on the internet.

@RubyHawk
Don't know, I only have my phone for internet. Do you know if it's electricity or the iPad?
