Today during a heavy rainstorm my cable modem lost it's signal but the TV cable was still working. Is this possible? I'm new to the internet cable setup and didn't think it ever went down for some reason.

Happens to me all the time Wayne. Signals come from two different sources to one cable.

As Bob says it can and does happen. I've had it happen several times. There are several factors - (1) the Internet access at the cable company, (2) signal level can be unuseable for the cable modem but for TV it may still be OK.

Yep but it can't happen vice versa if your cable goes out you sol
