Some hurricane.
I expected to wake up to chaos. It's cloudy and drizzly. That's it.

Granted, the storm hasn't quite hit yet, but already my expectations are not being met. :D

1. Write a letter of complaint to the weather service.
This weather is not what it said on the advertisement!

3. I'd like my money back, too.
Though I've looked again and I do have a tornado watch. They can make up for it if they take my place of employment to Oz.

4. I know, and I'm jealous.
Call me strange or psycho ( :P ), but I've sort of been hoping for a minor storm like this. I love storms. They are so exhilarating.

7. Yeah but I've been at the beach when its windy...
That blowing sand is a pain in the ass! I was at OC on vacation on a sunny but very windy day and I had no desire to stay outside....

8. Yeah it does sting when it's dry and windy.
But wet and windy is different.

Ahem. Why am I suddenly thinking about UndertheOcean's sex thread?

6. There's a pond in my backyard.
:P

But we really needed the water. I think we got about 4.5 inches of rain. It's stopped raining now, though and it's expected to clear out by this afternoon.

9. Well, you're down there near the point of impact.
We're just getting your sloppy seconds. :D

11. Coming down a a good clip here.
Just some rain, rather than an apocalyptic tempest. I'll give it another hour before venturing out for my Saturday errands on my bike. Though I was going to pedal through it what ever it was. By Zeus, Odin will protect me - Krishna willing.

19. Boy, did I ever get wet.
My rain gear wasn't much help, except keeping my money damp rather than sodden. It was coming down so hard, there were fish swimming in the street and a shark cruised right above me.

18. It's not too bad.
And I'll bet it's even weaker by the time it gets to you. A few strong gusts of wind here and there, and some rain.

13. Good!
May all your expectations of disaster be similarly disapointing. :P

15. It's picked up, but still not as bad as everyone made it out to be.
And thanks. :D
