Who's enjoying the crazy thunderstorm in Los Angeles?

I would like it a lot more if I didn't have leaks in my roof.

1. You too with the leaky roof?

Mine leaked mercilessly last year but was "fixed."

We shall see what I find when I get home from work.

6. Keep your fingers crossed.

Roof repair seems to be an inexact science here.

[Patiod]

2. I thought it never rained in Southern California

seems I've often heard that kind of talk before

[Beaverhausen]

4. When it rains here all hell breaks loose

car accidents galore. They are actually letting people who live far away leave work early!

and it VERY RARELY thunders and lightenings here but it's doing it now...big time! :scared:

9. it pours, man it pours. n/t

[nini]

3. it was pouring a few minutes ago here..

I like it :-)

[Initech]

5. Driving in this rain certainly aint fun!

I wish it had rained this badly during the Angels - White Sox game.

Particularly in the fifth inning when we actually had a lead for once.

7. I can't say I'm exactly enjoying it.......

BUT...it's not bad, and we sure do need the water, so.....

The thunder/lightening last night was truly impressive, especially for here in LA!

I thought for sure it would keep me awake, but no...too tired!

I'm also grateful that I don't need to be out in it today!




:hi:

[Zomby Woof]

8. I am!

Now that my errands are through. It is a good afternoon to read.

[Shine]

10. Oh, I wonder if it's comin' up towards us, in the Monterey Bay...

News to me it was rainin' down there...weird.

[Beaverhausen]

11. Uh oh...this doesn't look good
