Glen, I don't think it is an FAA rule, just one of those similar to not holding large conductive poles in the air during a lightning storm, or parasailing in a tornado.
I remember one of the "I Learned About Flying From That" stories in Flying magazine where the guy was diving at VNE just to minimize his climb rate when he got into a storm near the mountains.
There must be something wrong in the world when Sea-Tac is dry and the rest of the US is wet.
