I was planning to switch to DirectTV from cable. You loose the signal when it's raining??? Hell, where I live, about the only time it isn't raining is when it's snowing.

My home weather station recorded 13.7mm of rain yesterday. We needed it.
I’m armed and I’m drinking. You don’t want to listen to advice from me, amigo.

It doesn't happen whenever it rains. Only when severe storm clouds are in between you and the sat signal. I live on the New Eng. coast and it goes out maybe 6 times a year for a few minutes or an hour or so.
We're still glad we dumped cable, though the cost was comparatively less (to cable) when we first got it 6 years ago.

Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

But then I have no idea where exactly "Upper Yonder" is.

Seems like ours is out quite a lot, but of course it storms a lot in south Florida also.

It takes a pretty good storm here to take the DirectTV out.

As far up yonder as you get in the U.S. of A.

More rain last night, some areas 2-3 inches, and the flooding continues.

We sure could use some of that rain one state down in Missouri. The forecast is for isolated thunder storms.

Well the gravity should pull the water down from Iowa to Missouri, right? At least it worked that way when I sprinkled water onto my wall map.
