Los Angeles, California - inclement weather

Just in case anyone is under the illusion that we never get inclement weather here...

...these are all from today.


Heavy hailstorm


Streets flooded up over the sidewalk


The river that was the 60 freeway onramp - Hacienda Blvd.

While I will grant you that this isn't our usual weather, it's not like we haven't seen it hail before. Just not this hard. I've seen really heavy rain before, but I've never seen the skies just open up quite like that. It started as sheets of rain, then suddenly came down with hail just as hard. The streets were instantly flooded, and we knew if we didn't get out of there soon we were going to have a stalled engine.

Maybe God wanted to prepare us for the weather we're going to experience on our trip? LOL
