So Cal people are you ready? It's suppose to dump rain like we haven't seen in years and maybe even decades!!!

I'm in LA and we've had good rain fall over the last few days, but looking at whats coming later tonight has me wondering..

I think I'm grabbing the surf board and going for it.. I figure you only live once and life is short...

I'm just hoping I don't get called out. Work on the railroad electric/signal division, always mad problems when it rains. Had to go out last night.

That would have to be like a 2ft deep puddle. Lol. I drove my lowered Vette with a cai on monday and went over some deep puddles with no issues. Filter got a little wet from splashing but thats it. I would say if you can, speed thru them in case you do injest water itll go thru quick. I dont know if some guy stay idle in deep puddles or what.

Never seen it hail that hard in Socal. Go to tornado alley in the midwest. Hail is the size of softballs and will mess your *** up if youre outside plus your car will look like someone took a bat to it.

I agree, El Nino the rain came down in sheets, it was intense as I remember that well.. This is not as bad..

So far I'm not seeing that much rain.. Not even close to what was expected and reported yesterday..

Perhaps the weather news reports are mistaken again, what else is new

I'm not to worried about my t-tops, I'm more worried about my damn opti! Didn't get a chance to change my heater core, so its been cold and windows been foggy lol.

Guess well see how bad this gets...
