When I first moved to California from Connecticut, the tv was interrupted for hours one night with "Storm Warning, tune in at 10" nonsense. Now where I'm from, that means some serious stuff is going to fall from the sky. Here, "Up to an inch of rain is expected". Oh my, pack an umbrella and don't leave the car windows open. I still can't get over watching people freak out over a drizzle. And the people I work with can't believe I still ride to work in the rain.
