Wink Bad weather in L.A.

With all the news coverage about sub-zero weather back at home in the UK, it's easy to forget us poor citizens of Southern California and that we have our fair share of devastating weather also.

Check out the damage caused by a wild west coast storm which recently
passed through Los Angeles (photo attached.) It really makes you cherish what you have, and reminds us not to take life for granted!!!

Yeah it was pretty rough, I even managed to leave a wet footprint on the floor as I walked into my apartment.

My thoughts are with you all in this monsoon season.


Cheers,

I am sure the annual fires that left you all shitting you pants last summer will dry things out.

Sadly I missed out on them, was still in Blighty. I like it when it rains here, it seems to throw our neighbours into panic, mass shutting of soft top cars and trying to find the windscreen wipers in the car, also an appearance of ridiculosly overprices umberellas in every shop.

My sympathies are with you.... It must be hard having to put up with 80 degree temperatures at the beginning of march!!!


80's!?!?!?!?! If it hits 50 here at the minute everybody gets really excited and you see people walking around with t-shirts and shorts on!!

Oh yeah, everybody is really happy that the 2 foot of lake effect snow has nearly all melted now due to it being above freezing for more than four days!


Enjoy!
