That one time that it rained for a week and everyone freaked out.


Southern Californians are spoiled. It hardly ever rains here. Literally 3-4 weeks out of the year. Yet somehow, these few weeks have become the most feared of all. Forget fires and earthquakes, that's nothing compared to WATER.

And I'm not talking about storms either. There is no thunder, no lightning, very little wind, just WATER.

Every time I flip on the TV it's big letters saying STORM WATCH...and a poor reporter standing in the drizzle whining about the non-existent downpour and non-existent wind.

It's like time stands still when it rains. It may as well be the apocalypse, the way people freak out and "stock up." Stock up for what??!! What do you need to buy that the rain is going to stop you from buying???

And then there's the drivers. Let me ask you this, d-bag in a prius: Do you really think your car was made to drive through that LAKE of water that has collected on that particular side of the road?? Do you think that certain make of car is MAGIC?? That it turns into a boat?? WHY DO YOU DRIVE THROUGH THE FLOODED PARTS OF THE ROAD?? change lanes, idiot!!
