Heavy rain has been predicted for Southern California for the next couple of weeks. I have seen the rain here before. It looks worse than it is. I remember looking out and saying, “I'm not walking to work in that !” But by the time I was ready for work, the rain would have stopped and the river flowing down the street would have receded and gone its merry way down the storm drain.
