Rain in California

[Vball818]

It never ceases to amaze me how the TV stations up and down California freak out when rain hits the state. It's almost like as if we are in a disaster. How many of you Volletalk members find it funny and sad that the news stations go over-the-top when they report about the rainy weather and it's the first lead story?

(PacificGirl - I went to recordnet.com and there is a picture showing cars stuck in water just like down here in L.A. and a couple of days ago down in Seal Beach and Anaheim)

Yeah, we got a lot of rain yesterday. I went to Target to buy new wiper blades for my car. I was drenched by the time I got into the store. (I also bought an umbrella.)

It's a big deal down here. If a 2.0 earthquake were to occur in Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania news stations would panic in a similar fashion.

I loved the rain and watching stupid drivers play bumper cars in the highway. And plus, my garden got some free water. Woo hoooo!
