Speaking of Mother Nature, SoCal Ladies...

Re: Speaking of Mother Nature, SoCal Ladies...

  • My thoughts exactly when I heard this on the news this morning!

    I'm keeping y'all in my thoughts!

  • I don't know about the So.CAL ladies but up in NorCal the weather is HORRENDOUS!!!  Worst weather we have had in a decade according to the news. I don't want to go outside.

  • Oh man!  I saw some awful videos of flooding on the news last night.  Hope everyone's ok!

  • Stay safe and dry out there!

    AZ is getting your left over storm, so its not as bad for us...

    Float on over here if you need to get dry :)

  • Hope all you ladies are safe down there. Rain sucks!

    It must be all Cali then.  The article I read just talked about SoCal.  Try to stay dry and safe!

  • I'm ok! I'm fortunate to not be in a flood/mudslide zone. We had tornado warnings yesterday, and have the potential for one this afternoon, but so far it's just been a lot of rain and wind, and some thunder and lightening (which is very unusual here). Thanks for thinking of us!
  • Its not as bad (IMO) as they make it out to be . . . most of the problem is that people don't know how to slow down and drive in bad weather.

    It was kind of funky though to look out my office and see the main street in front flooded . . . and the manhole covers floating down the road.  Weird.

  • I don't want to undermine the people who are in real trouble because of the rain...all 15 of them... but it's just rain. 

    If we get so much as a cloud out here, all of a sudden it's...

    STORMWATCH 2010!!!!!! 

    They always film some sunken streetcorner with a pot hole and a clogged storm drain and it looks like a raging river.

    And there are a lot of people who buy homes in old river beds with high water tables or along crumbly hill sides who get screwed.  I feel bad for them, but you have to know what you're getting in to when you move into that situation.  Hillsides erode.  Cliffs are cliffs because pieces break off.  Valleys collect water.  It's not rocket science.  It's earth science.  SoCal is a big desert (Chapparal), and we pretend it's not.

    Southern Californians are silly when it comes to weather.  We're just not used to it.  The worst part is the traffic.  Everyone tries to drive between the raindrops.

    We even had "tornado" warnings in my hometown (Vista).  I think that's due to the concentration of trailerparks there.  They automatically have to issue a tornado warning.

    Amen to all of the above! I feel badly for the people who are impacted, but it is hysterical to see weatherpersons from the news standing outside in a light sprinkle, discussing the "magnitude" of this storm.

  • hahahah Aria thats totally how it is out here in AZ every time it rains...

    The news people act liek they have never seen the rain. Its so funny and irritating.

  • Well, hope y'all are doing fine!  and not getting any 'monster skin' either from all the water;)

    What Aria said!

    I work in one of the areas that has lost power and has had evacuations (La Canada) but unless you are one of the people in the hills with mud threatening to overcome your house, you're okay. The news is so freakin' dramatic. I would rather be home though because So-Cal drivers in the rain are far more dangerous than anything mother nature can cause!

    I personally am loving the thunder and lightning, it's a welcome change :)

    EXACTLY what I was trying to say in Sheri's post above.  Yes

    I am so glad that Louisiana is not the only place where they manipulate the severity of the weather situation.  Every time a storm comes through they find the trashiest, toothless hobo they can, put a boat and dog next to him in a ditch and say its the worst thing they have ever seen as his beer can floats down the street.  Shame.
