Was driving in CA last week when they actually got some rain (from NorCal down to a a bit further than Little Panoche Road along the I-5).
That was a straight up blasting. At first, I was like "Welcome to Oregon, bitches!" as I blew by all the Californians that were like "WTF is this coming from the sky?" The shit got real. Torrential downpours. It doesn't even rain like that here in Oregon. My windshield wipers couldn't even keep up, so while I was blowing past everyone, I was white-knuckling it for a few hours).
They were so happy to be having some rain. I literally had people thanking me for bringing it from Oregon (and I got two free drinks at the bar - weird, but I'm not one to turn down alcohol). In Napa, they were talking about potential flash floods.
Of course, then I reached Oceanside and all was groovy (85 and blue skies).
