I've seen pics from Big Bear and Mammoth and both are dumping.

There's some damage locally, The Beachside at Goleta beach was damaged and 2 employees hurt due to a large wave. A boat was smashed on Goleta pier too. Unconfirmed report that part of Gaviota pier was torn away.

At home I've been saving up the rain in various large containers so we can use it on the garden later. I have about 185 gallons and every container I have is full or overflowing. I'm getting ~40-50 gallons or so coming off the roof in under an hour!

Watched an accident happen right in front of me on the freeway yesterday morning. Someone attempted to correct a hydroplane by slamming on their brakes...they ran straight into the cement barrier, then bounced clear across to the other side of the road in front of me. I was already going slow (~50), but I threw on my hazards and slowed down even more when I saw this start to happen (5-ish car lengths in front of me, one lane over). The lovely drivers behind me continued going 80 or a million mph, whatever it was... *shakes her head* They're lucky they didn't hit that guy as he was careening between lanes.

I debated stopping to see if he needed help, but other than his car being pretty smashed up, I don't think the accident was too bad....unless someone behind me hit him after I got by him :/

Having just moved to SoCal from WV (where it rains and snows all the freaking time), I have to say that I find it absolutely hilarious to watch other SoCalers drive in the rain. Understandable since it rains maybe 20 days a year for you all, but still funny. The rain is definitely making it difficult for me to learn the roads though, since I have to pay more attention to my actual driving and everyone else around me instead of paying attention to where I am at and how I got there. haha

if your car is low and goes through a pretty deep puddle, would it mess up the car?

Depends. How low, how deep of a puddle, and how fast do you hit it?

@jonbonazza it doesn't help that Cali roads aren't sloped so the water doesn't run off :[ I'm from Minnesota originally (been here 2.5 years now, woooo sunshine!)...so I've got a little basis for comparison, too :]
