Stormwatch 2010

So, in the last day or so we have had more rain than we’ve had in the last 5 years, and there is more to come this week!  No, I didn’t make that up.  That was a tease on the local news that I heard while I was channel surfing.  So. Cal is so hilarious when we get more than one inch of rain.  Its not just rain, but its a storm!!!  And what do the news do when there is a storm, why “Stormwatch” of course!  The #1 news story on every local station will be about how much rain has fallen thus far.  There will be traffic reports about and warnings to slow down when driving because there will be a lot of accidents on the roads (since freaking So Cal’s don’t know how to drive in the rain.  Here’s a hint, don’t drive as fast when its wet outside!)  There will be a weather report literally every 5 minutes, as if the one 5 minutes ago was not enough to let us know its raining outside right now and will continue to do so.  You will get the requisite mudslide warnings and probably clips of some families sandbagging.

Am I forgetting anything?  I think that about covers it.  Just remember that any time in rains more than an inch in a day, there will be news coverage.  If it rains 2 days in a row, then it becomes stormwatch.  3 days in row?  Heaven forbid, as it might be the the next epic Biblical event.
