I have to disagree with the premise that stormy weather can't interfere with 
the cloud.  If I'm at home, and a storm with high winds causes my electricity 
to be disconnected as a result of the tree in my back yard hitting the power 
line that goes through it, my power goes off.  My internet stops working.  That 
doesn't happen often, but is a direct result of the storm.
