Sucky propogation, eastern US, the past couple of days?

I've been looking at the ARRL bulletins and spaceweather.com for what
the cause is but don't see anything.

The bands at my QTH (mid-Atlantic US) were really really sucky this
past weekend. Just a very few ham signals and the shortwave bands
were nearly empty, even the normal powerhouses were just barely
trickling in. Conditions for MW reception in the evening were awful
too.

Local weather has had a long string of rain/thunderstorms that began
about the same time as the bad propogation (Friday night/Saturday
morning).

I did not have a chance to listen to the short wave radio this weekend
but looking back at the Space weather warnings I don't see a problem
that occurred over the weekend. Chances are your reception problems all
stemmed from the electrical storms in your area playing havoc with the
AGC desensitizing the radio.
