lightning storm
Storms can cause slight shifts in ground potential, which may temporarily aggravate grounding issues, causing hum or static. If you only heard static during a storm but it went away afterward, it was likely due to temporary EMI or line noise. BTW...

@audphile1  You outta try the classic Eames replica. Find a retailer that sells one with real wood veneer and top-grain leather. It comes in standard and tall versions.
