Hi,

Sounds like you might have issues with power. Not just outages, I mean
brownouts, voltage sags, spikes. It's common in a rural setting. It
would explain both your connection problems and some programs crashing,
and service interruption when it's raining. It might not be the only
problem, but in your shoes it's where I'd start looking.
