Monsoon season and power cuts

These always seem to go together. I can imagine it when there is a fierce thunderstorm right above you. We had that the other day with lots of lightning and the thunder clapping right over our heads. Fairly frightening I have to say. Of course, all the while pretending there was nothing to worry about so as not to frighten the kids...  As soon as a storm like that happens, the power goes off. OK, I can live with that. What I don't understand is when there is no power when there is just rain. After all, rain is an often occurring event in the monsoon season. Yet, every time the rain comes down a bit hard the power goes off.

We now pay twice as much for electricity than before April this year. The government says it is to improve service and reliability. I'm counting on that and hope they hurry....
