SoCal has ideal weather 360 days a year, but those five days of rain can apparently be terrifying to El Lay residents.
And they’re airing out their #Rainpocalypse fear on Twitter!
Weird, acid-filled wet stuff started falling from the sky on Wednesday night, but dried up before the morning, which caused some people to think the storm had passed…
And then came all the tweeting:
So that's it? #larain

That free car wash last night was pretty cool. Was that a viral marketing thing or something? #LARain

We are one escaped T-Rex awwy from some Jurassic Park level of rain. In other news, people from LA still suck at driving in the rain.

Does anyone know if the National Guard delivers breakfast? I’m assuming LA is in a state of emergency with all this rain.

If I survive #rainpocalypse I'll never take life for granted. But 1-3 inches? I'm saying imminent death for most in #SoCal BE STRONG #LA

that's right folks, in LA, a good day or two of rain is an emergency. That's not hyperbole. That's how we live out here.

Rain in LA forcing people to stay indoors? Let me dry your tears with my 10 inches of snow during Super Week.
