Question

Answer 1

Could be that you have a water tower in your area that feeds your water lines.

I'm taking a wild guess but perhaps the pumps that fill the tower are turned off during a storm to prevent damage from lightening strikes or maybe they are turned off so that the pumps don't suck in a lot of mud/silt that is stirred up during a storm
