Hi Nancy!

 DS>>>   Yet, with the storms, the BBS was offline to protect from
 DS>>> lightning damage...and the Verizon Mi-Fi was very erratic,
 DS>>> because of the storms. Whenever there's bad weather, the cell
 DS>>> networks are the first thing to crash.
 BM>> Hmmm: no one has mentioned loss of cell phone service because of
 BM>> weather issues.  Either they just accept it or the system locally is
 BM>> sturdier.
 NB>> Cell networks don't seem to crash for bad weather here, either...
 NB>> My phone seems to work whatever the weather....
 BM> OK, thanks for the verification.  Could be all sorts of reasons why
 BM> Daryl's cell connection fails during bad weather; would think it would
 BM> be corrected as more people are getting cellular service as their
 BM> primary telephone.
 NB> Could be that their cell tower system hasn't been updated
 NB> recently... or maybe the storms are more violent, so they wreak
 NB> more havoc with cell signals....

Yes: all sorts of possibilities.  And might not be one specific item but
several small ones combining.  I know television signals will drop out: 
for me it's a combination of antenna location, gusting winds, and 
probably tree branches moving.
