Well mid-valley is really having it right now. Hope there are no floods, but keeping my fingers crossed on possible mudslides (and of course no fatalities)

It's raining in LA..

combine this with our roads crumbling every time it rains and you have a good time going. always nice to be driving and then discover a giant ass pothole just opened up out of nowhere.
It got drenched for a few minutes now it's light. I work at a golf course and they were gonna have a small tournament and dinner but they just cancelled so now I'm at work doing nothing but reading Era lol
The rain is actually terrible after bad fires. Causes really bad mudslides, like the one that killed a bunch of people in Carpenteria in Jan.
The projected rain totals in this storm for some of the fire areas are really fucking nuts, too.
Sounds a bit in bad taste to post this since a lot of people died in the past fire season.
Not to mention the mess and more deaths from the past mudslides.
Well atleast the palmtrees arent like candles in the murder wind then.
past leaks have completely soured me on rain. used to enjoy it. now its just stressful when i hear there's gonna be a storm. i actually dreamt last night that my roof was leaking lol :(
Can't wait to get home and smoke some (legal for recreational use, thanks California) weed after work.
you said sorry, so yeah no worries :)
is just that anything extreme weather-wise always causes so much chaos in the area
North OC and its pouring, like downpour like crazy here. Supposed to taper off and then start real bad tonight for 36 hours straight. The news said to expect nearly 5 inches of rain... like WTF that can't be right? right? They were using the words like, "Storm of the season".
I've fallen for that before lol, but I'll prepare either way.
I went to my local fire station and filled up 4 sandbags and put them in problem areas when it gets crazy. The firemen there said nobody had come by yet, I was the first. I got home, it was dry.. I put the sandbags up and 5 minutes later it was raining nickels.

Its only supposed to rain on and off for about 45 minutes today. But tonight around 9PM it'll start to dump until friday morning almost nonstop.
It's been raining a little bit in South East LA.

Poor NE crying about another snow storm... Look at us, we have four real seasons with beautiful fall colors. Cry me an icy river, NE!

Heavy rain storms like the current one are like a double sided knife.
We go into drought for months at once, things really dry up, and we get fires all over, then suddenly in a single day or two we get rain that's supposed to be the equivalent to a whole year's worth of water, and while it does help recovering from drought conditions, all the dry places specially the ones that burned, absorb the water thus getting soft and unstable which then generate mudslides.
So yes, the drought is gone, but some areas really get screwed with flooding and what not.
Yup, started at around 10:30am and is been non-stop. I just came back from lunch and some cross streets on Magnolia are already flooding. I guess is time to avoid eastbound Burbank blvd. and Sherman Way
Yeah, I work in one of the buildings Ventura/Sepulveda. It's gloomy as far as the eye can see.
Not hyped for the 405.
Let me guess, either comerica or citibank. I'm sure you had fun with the air quality during the mulholland fire. Ughh
I'm peeking outside the window and is pouring, I'll be driving to valley glen later on the day and I'm seriously concerned with what street to take since I drive a freaking mini and don't want to stall on some flooded street.
I love the rain, but wish drainage system on the streets was more properly maintained and cleaned (Sepulveda dam, I'm looking at you)
I don't understand how people who live in mandatory-evacuation areas don't actually evacuate, yet I'm here struggling driving over a flooded street
The old citibank - you must know the area well because they've been out of the building for a bit. And no doubt, the air quality was awful for a couple days earlier this year. I take the 405 to work and got turned around during that one hellfire day when it nearly reached the Getty.
I feel for you. There's always flooding a little north of here. We have a few people in the Lake Balboa area and they get stuck for all intents and purposes when it rains like this. They're not looking forward to the drive home...
The wife and I went to Disneyland for our Honeymoon back in January 2017 and it rained the entire time we were there. It was a major bummer.
I'm glad its raining they shut the jobsite down for tomorrow. Time to buy some lasagna from Guillianos, a pack Duvel beer and play DMC HD Collection.
A light drizzle is like the best weather for Disneyland to beat the crowds. But pouring rain, not so much
We're starting a region wide gofundme to help rebuild and another one to research a way to prevent this from happening again.
Sorry to hear. I usually like a light rain at Disneyland, means all the locals stayed home and the lines are super short.
I used to stockpile coupons for free weekday skiing and then use them on rain days when I was doing construction in LA.
