That drives me nuts too .. it happens all the time.  I saw on TV that people like you and I who do that are called "sliders."  It was an actual documentary on 20/20.\n\nCheck out the websites below, very interesting.

Sounds like static electricty, which tends to develop in windy dry conditions.  Check it out.

You reminded me of my childhood days. I used to ask my father the same Questions.\n\nClouds don't go any where during night. They are still there it only that there is not enough light for us to see them. Remember when you see moon light we see those clouds around or sometimes the moon hiding behind the clouds.

You must be careful when doing this. If you are standing in the street /road you can get a ticket for obstructing traffic. You must be on the shoulder/curb to be out of traffic.

Only the Electric Power Company can answer this.\n\nAssuming your inforrmation is correct, and this involves RAIN only, not high wind, it is possible there is an Underground Line that shorts out.\n\nWhatever it is, it sounds like something that can be fixed, but this will only happen if you organize the members of the community and invite the Power Company representative to meet with them and explain why this happens.\n\nMake sure the TV News crews are there.

if you have the right panels you will still get a trickle charge, after all, unless it is night time, it is still light during a storm, so some light must be getting thru.

Because it takes power from the battery to start the engine.  So the lights get a little less power for that brief instance that the engine gets started.  But once the engine IS started, it produces power on it's own through the alternator, thats why they stop being dim.

people may not realize but cars can give interference with electronics.  If your practice room is close to the street you may want to change rooms.  I think it has something to do with the newer ignitions, but I am a daughter of a mechanic, not a mechanic myself.

b'coz in street light are placed at almost constant distance from each othere. the shadow wil appear opposite side of street light means if street poll is in fornt of u and u r near to the poll then shadow will be behind u and simillarly poll is behind u and and if u r near to that poll then shadow will be in front of u.\nthis is due to intensity.

I have no idea why, but looking at a bright light (such as the sun) usually works.

Check the fuses. There are often several fuses for the headlights.
