I'm not saying that an electrical current (like, electrons flowing) passes from the sky, through the dome, and into the field network. Like you said, I'd assume the dome is grounded, preventing this from happening. I am saying that the culprit might be electromagnetic
radiation, not
current. Electromagnetic radiation
exhibits exhibits wave-like behavior as it travels through space. This would allow it to travel through the (grounded) dome and interfere with the network. The wave emitted by the storm would interact with the wave emitted by the router, get into conflict, and mess things up for the teams.
