honestly, most angelinos didn't even notice! Even sunday on the light rails, after it having rained consecutively without pause since thursday many people were not dressed for the extreme weather, a lot of folks were in shorts, had not rain jackets, were wearing open toed shoes and even flip flops on the train! These were not folks who could hide in their car pretending it might not break down and have them stranded, but folks who like me use the buses and rails to get around, who were out on their feet in the elements without a forethought about the rain! Angelinos, we aren't necessarily bright about the rain..
by the way, it was indeed a trip, I haven't seen it rain so consistently since 1995 when we were literally swimming on the streets.
All things considering it was not that bad a series of storms, it didn't do half the damage the floods this past February did, and it wasn't anywhere near as harmful or caused as much loss of life as the winter storms that hit the mid-west and north east last month which killed over 16 people. Essentially, this storm got a lot of hype cuz its los angeles and honestly it doesn't rain that much so people across the country tend to take over-emphasized notice. We got about half a year's worth of rain in seven days, I must admit that is kinda impressive.
