“I’ll trade you some cold for some rain.
We topped out at 12 degrees today and its going to be below zero tonight with -20 wind chills, even colder tomorrow.”
I’m so sorry, That’s why I moved south, that and to get away from the liberals.
Get the snow chains, skis and snowboards and take a ride up to Mt. Baldy. At nearly any other latitude Baldy would be considered world class terrain. The 2-5 days a year is all the epic you get.
And now the liberals are following you. LOL
Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I’ve often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California, but girl, don’t they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours.
We definitely need the rain, but the flooding is never a good thing.
I remember driving home from a buddy’s house in Dana Point one night after a poker game and the rain was coming down so hard I could barely see my headlights past the wipers. Huge drops hitting the roof of my car sounding like acorns. I slowed to about 45 on the freeway, then 35, then 25 and was considering pulling to the shoulder and stopping, but it started to lighten just enough that I was able to make out the lane lines and continue at a safe pace. It was freaky how hard it was dumping down.
Build a nice solid brick house ,and it will likely fall down in the next moderate earthquake.
OMG, JimRob move to higher ground. We can’t afford to lose you.
When I was a teen I wanted to tie a rope to an overpass and surf the Santa Ana River during those high water times. That is, until someone reminded me of all the debris that was also coming down the river at a pretty good clip. Wiping out on a log or other hunk of flotsam would have been a bad thing.
Ah, the change in seasons!
In SoCal, there are four seasons: Fire, Flood, Earthquake, and Mudslide. From the standpoint of natural events, flood season generally ushers in the annual migration of the undocumented Democrat.
It was the driest year since, well, two years ago, or something. But hey, after this torrential rain stops, the drought will immediately start again.
I spent the first 21 years of my life In Flint Michigan.
Some say thats as close to hell as it gets now days.....
Maybe now, but my house, built in 1949 with thick stucco reinforced with heavy wire mesh is a goddamned tank. And thats outside the studs. Inside it's beadboard, more wire and then another solid inch of plaster. About killed a contractor trying to open up a chunk a few years ago. Rode out the Northridge quake ten miles from epicenter with some minor plaster cracks. But it sucks for cell phone signals. Thing has so much wire mesh its a Faraday cage.
Ah...yes...
BTW last quake I was in, liquefaction of ground soil occurred, which turns soil into an oatmeal like consistency. We watched the neighbors house literally bob around then sink into the ground...2 minutes later it was burped back up...Almost made me upchuck...Then we drank some beer and had a good laugh.
**Oh the Humanity!**
You mean...
Oh the humidity.
