I'm just a few miles from the epicenter. House shook quite a bit and the children took shelter under a table. Rain is still moderate.

Looks pretty calm still on my doorbell cam.

I have a house in Eastlake in CV, and one in South Park in SD.

Eastlake looks kind of like Rancho Barnyardo.

Finally getting some wind, it feels like an actual tropical storm.

I should clarify, I wasn’t hoping for death and destruction, I just really love storms. San Diego weather is fucking boring. I miss the thunderstorms of Spokane. I’ve lived here almost 20 years and in that time I think there have been 4-5 brief thunderstorms.  I was hoping for some real weather here.

NBC was outside the Linq garage reporting on the water going through it, into the culvert there this morning.
It was semi-impressive.
Norma Geli was live streaming there about an hour ago, same spot. Not very impressive flow.

??First Hurricane in Las Vegas?? ???

Wide tires with no tread left hydroplane easily.  Add drivers not used to driving on wet roads.  Add drivers looking at cellphone instead of the road.

Geez it's like they don't even put a grade on the road so the water flows to the edges.

Notice the idiot with the flashers on in the rain that should have been to the more right lanes that caused another car to brake and then caused the chain reaction for everyone else.

They were driving pretty fast for the rain though if there was enough water coverage to hydroplane.

Areas that typically don't get a lot of rain tend to not build roads around shedding water. Looks like a bad spot that pooled water and caused people to hydroplane.

They also love their road reflectors which isn't something that is done around here. Plows would pop them off the first snow of the year.

CA has never been known for adding drainage to highways when building them.

Californians aren't known for slowing down when it starts raining either!

The carpool and fastlane are known for flooding when it rains, yet people still try doing 90 mph there.

I'd toss my enemy's carcasses IN the water.  Chances are they'd be almost impossible to ID or determine cause of death.

Because they have zero experience at all with driving in heavy rain, and don't know how to tell when they're about to start hydroplaning.

Good old yuppie slip and slide.  Back when I lived in LA, whenever the first rain storm of the year hit, it would turn into chaos as every jackass in a SUV would wipe out after doing 80+ on a slick freeway and then slamming on their brakes.  Also, since SoCal gets so little rain, the oil on the freeways tends to build up and once you get a decent rain storm the freeways get a lot slicker compared to normal.

I am in the San Gabriel Valley, 10 mile east of L.A., and I am 3 miles from the San Gabriel Mtns, so far, lots of rain but no wind, though an occasional breeze from ~10-15mph. So far, so good; I am unscathed, a bit water logged.
