We are having severe rainstroms here in Southern California. It was raining so hard tonight, that I couldn't go to work. The water was so deep in back parking lot of my apartment complex that I couldn't get my car out. Well, I couldn't really get to the car, because the water was half way up to my knee. I don't even know if I could have driven the car, even if I could get to it. It has been pouring down rain and we've been having thunderstorms, which is really rare in Los Angeles. I think part of the flooding problem is because they don't have the drains cleared enough.
