DTV & Bad Weather

Well, I've been experiencing some very severe weather for a couple of hours now. This is the first time I've been able to witness what a DTV OTA signal would look like during high winds and severe thunderstorms.

I am using rabbit ears, which have pulled in strong signals with no problems. Well, as soon as the thunderstorms hit the DTV signal went to absolute crap. I'm very disappointed, and thankful I still have analog to fall back on during this flooding and tornadic activity.

It really surprised me how bad the signal deteriorated, considering I'm less than two miles from the transmitter tower of the station.

Thank God we still have power - I've had a fever for 3 days and am having to stay up to monitor the flooding.
