So I saw this headline:

F1 boss urged to quit amid Nazi sex scandal
Mosley reportedly play-acted being prisoner with five prostitutes on video

(Full story here - F1 = Formula 1 Race Cars)

But I was most amused by the unfortunate picture that accompanied the story:

Long Beach, CA

SEVERE WEATHER ALERT

Forecast Details:

Mostly cloudy skies early, then partly cloudy after midnight. Low 49F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph.

MAN! That IS severe!!!!!!

Actually, when I got to more details I saw that there is actually some "discomfort" in the forecast. I blame WenchyBeth.

...A LATE SEASON STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW TO
SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...

AN UPPER LOW MOVING SLOWLY ACROSS THE EASTERN PACIFIC IS FORECAST
TO TRACK TO A POSITION JUST WEST OF POINT CONCEPTION WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON...THEN IS EXPECTED TO SLIDE EAST SOUTHEASTWARD INTO LOS
ANGELES COUNTY WEDNESDAY EVENING. THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED
TO BRING A 6 TO 8 HOUR PERIOD OF STEADY RAIN TO SOUTHWESTERN
CALIFORNIA WEDNESDAY INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS.

THERE IS A CHANCE THAT SOME RAIN MAY DEVELOP ACROSS SAN LUIS OBISPO
AND SANTA BABARA COUNTIES LATE TONIGHT...BUT THE BULK OF THE RAIN
THERE IS EXPECTED TO FALL WEDNESDAY MORNING INTO WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. ACROSS VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES...THE BULK
OF THE RAIN IS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. AS COLD AIR ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE CENTER OF THE UPPER
LOW SPREADS INTO SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA...THE ATMOSPHERE WILL
BECOME INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE...LEADING TO SOME LOCALLY HEAVY
SHOWERS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. RAIN WILL TURN TO SCATTERED SHOWERS FROM NORTHWEST
TO SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

RAINFALL TOTALS WITH THIS STORM SYSTEM ARE EXPECTED TO AVERAGE
ONE QUARTER TO THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH IN COASTAL AND VALLEY
AREAS...WITH 1 TO 2 INCHES IN THE FOOTHILLS AND MOUNTAINS. THE
HIGHEST TOTALS ARE EXPECTED ON AND BELOW SOUTH FACING SLOPES...
AND IN AREAS THAT RECEIVE THUNDERSTORMS.

AT THIS TIME...MAJOR WIDESPREAD PROBLEMS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED FOR THE
BURN AREAS...ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE GROWTH OF SOME VEGETATION IN THESE
AREAS. HOWEVER...THIS WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY...AND
RESIDENTS IN AND AROUND THE BURN AREAS SHOULD STAY TUNED FOR
LATER FORECASTS.

Well, if they are predicting rain in Southern California, then; yes.

At least as the news stations report it.

And with good reason. As pathetic as it is, drizzle kills people here.

I'm sure there are people in LA who reach for the Xanax at the first sign of rain.

I wish it wouldn't rain - Maddy's at camp. That'll just suck.

wolfy999 · 04-01-2008, 08:07 PM

I wonder if it is going to effect my plans of smuggling Thurston into the Grand Cal?
