Those of you who live “back East” and have been buried under snow can feel a little Schadenfreude this week. Remember all that rain California had on back order? It showed up.
We had heavy, Midwest-quality rainstorms, yesterday and particularly today. Trees, branches and power lines down all over; work was closed for today because our power was out, except of course for us poor suckers who had court appearances, since San Francisco Superior Court was very much not closed. Bridges and portions of highways were, though, making for some exciting navigation. (Detour signs? Those would have just blown away, right?) For once, I didn’t feel like I should roll my eyes at Californians at their ZOMG! WATER FROM THE SKY! reaction.
