Weather service: We don't get hurricanes in the California Bay Area. Our ocean is peaceful! That's why we call it the Pacific! I love you lil bro!🤗

Also weather service: Warning citizen! Prepare for the hurricane shaped storm that will drop hurricane amounts of rain, and knock your trees over with hurricane force winds! But it's not a hurricane! Never call it a hurricane! We call it either a Pineapple Express, or a Unicorn Sprinkle, or a Gumdrop Hug! Pick up sand bags instead of weed today!🦄🌼☮️✌🏻

In before amateur meteorologists tell me that 65 mph winds are not 75mph winds.🙂

I lived in Houston. Yes, I know what a real hurricane is.

I'm just complaining because I was told that it never rains in Southern California.

@mekkaokereke I work with a lot of folks in LA and every year around this time they get rain and they talk about how weird it is that it's raining because it never rains in LA

@dansinker And then we act genuinely surprised every time! Like playing peekaboo with a baby!

@mekkaokereke For real though. I've even recounted previous years where they've experienced big rains they've told me about and they sort of blankly stare at me.

@dansinker @mekkaokereke Grew up in LA and my jr high (Paul Revere) was at the bottom of Mandeville Canyon Rd. Where do you think folks went every time it flooded?

@mekkaokereke @dansinker This reminds me of how folks who live south of the Midwest forget about snow. My friend, you live north of the Ohio River. It snows every year.

@ryanbmarx @mekkaokereke @dansinker When I moved to Philly from CA years ago the city was forever getting shut down when even a few inches of snow fell because they had deemed investing in proper snow plows financially unnecessary. Made no sense to me.
