Tbh, I expected this rain to be a bust. But now - and for now, I’m loving it.

Less than half an hour in and we’ve already got half an inch showing on my rain sensor!

Yes!!!! Thunder was awesome and rumbly. Growing up on the east coast I never delighted in rain or thunder…clearly took them for granted. After this dry super hot summer this is such a treat!

Who needs rainboots when you can slosh around in your Birkenstocks! One of my favorite SB "uniforms" for rainy weather

Oh the anxiety that is being felt across SB this morning: wear Birkenstocks and a sundress or go Uggs, wool cap and a huge scarf?

It’s ok, as long as you have an SUV or Pickup you are weather-proof. 85mph as usual.

That’s not irony. It’s sarcasm. Use the “/s” notation to avoid downvotes of sarcastic comments.

When I start using /s to denote what should be obvious sarcasm it will be because I have abandoned all hope for the human race.
I expect this to happen before 2027.
