No middle ground there? Flood or drought, it seems.

Add earthquake, fire, and landslides.

No hurricanes?

In California we only have a loose relationship with hurricanes. They
touch us occasionally with glacing blows with Mexico usually getting
the worst of the Pacific tropical storms and hurricanes.

...er, glancing blows.

Like we end up with the rain that England can't take then... ;-/

in california, anything worse than a light drizzle is considered to be
a hurricane forcing people to run for cover.

Eastern myth.
Regardless of song ("It Never Rains in Southern California") and myth
we get rain, blizzards and violent storms. It is just that we have been
short of seasonal rain where it counts for the last 5 years. Not too
much in Death Valley.

You have a blue "H" on the lover part of your left leg?
I hope you can get medication for that.

Sure... Let me rephrase that: "I live just a few pixels to the left of
the lover part of the left leg of upper the blue H..." On the the map of
course!

Thank you for posting.

Note to the Duck: IMHO the posted images are examples of images that
should not be altered in any manner, except possibly some very mild
sharpening.

i doubt he was attempting to cross it. more likely he was not paying
any attention and only realized it when it was too late.

Three of the reasons my wife would not consider a move there. Although
she hate cold weather, she would sooner put up with an occasional snow in.

Eastern myth.

not at all. it's actual experience.

a little bit of rain and people there start freaking out. i could tell
what the weather was from traffic reports due to all of the collisions.
lots of collisions and it's raining. few and it's sunny.

if there's lightning or thunder, people stand in amazement just to
watch it. traffic might even come to a standstill.

Regardless of song ("It Never Rains in Southern California") and myth
we get rain, blizzards and violent storms. It is just that we have been
short of seasonal rain where it counts for the last 5 years. Not too
much in Death Valley.

up in the mountains, sure, but few people live there.

in the areas where people actually live, namely the los angeles basin
and san francisco bay area, a little drizzle and all hell breaks loose.
it's actually a bit entertaining. just stay the hell off the roads.
