The problem with rainy weather

I don't mind when it rains, as it has been most of the day...but I hate it when the weather causes electricity or other things to stop working. It seems that every time it rains...whether it's hard or light...the cable on our television gets all messed up. I'm not sure what causes this, but when it does happen, it lasts much of the day and night. Another thing that happens is the stop lights around town shut down. I guess I have to get used to these things, as they weren't things we had to deal with where we used to live.
