The approaching storm is due to arrive at our house at about game time! We have DirecTV, so I'm sure we're gonna lose our satellite. We have an outdoor antenna for such occasions, but if the winds are strong and the rain is heavy, the signal will be so weak that the pic will pixelate and drag.

As long as the electricity holds up we can stream it live on the PC......I'm getting a little worried about being able to fully watch the game from beginning to end!

Here is an image of the approaching storm. It's a large pic, so I'm just adding the link for viewing.

Take a deep breath....things will be fine....

If you have 90 signal strength you shouldn't lose signal and if you do it should only be for a minute or two as the strongest cells on the leading edge pass to your SW...

Thanks for that pep talk. I needed it. lol

I'm willing to sacrifice a game for a significant downpour, but does it have to be this one! :(
