No TV. Another result of global climate change? [View all]

I've lived here on the Alabama gulf coast for 20 years.
We've had satellite TV since 2004.
Until this summer we have rarely lost signal.
Not even during Hurricane Katrina.

The last several weeks we've had thunderstorm after thunderstorm, ad nauseum.
And lost signal for various lengths of time daily.
I don't remember ever having weather like this.
