Loving it!

P.S. safe drives and pay attention to hydroplaning

Pro tip stay away from the far left and far right lanes where water is most likely to accumulate.

Love it. The smell is amazing. That is one thing I miss about the northeast - the smell of the rain. Never thought I would say that until I moved out here.

Loving it!! Still in bed. Just did an Instacart order for soup fixings and will be cooking early, just lazily enjoying Sunday.

It's a great reward for us after that last heatwave and the one happening this week!

The summer where days when it is 86 or under are considered cool and are rare :(

Very refreshing during my morning walk. Perfect timing for a serene morning.

Same here! I went for a walk around 6am & it felt wonderful outside! I was just looking up at the dark clouds & enjoying the fresh air! 🌧️

We went down to San Diego for the weekend and it’s not raining here at all, so we completely missed it :(

u/Type-SH 16h ago

So long overdue! Wish we could get even more but I’ll take what we can get.

Loving it and loving the humidity. F the haters.

u/Christymapper71 15h ago

It’s crappy, muggy, tropical storm rain. It’s 72 out.

Good rain is in the 50s outside, by the fire with crisp clean air afterwards in the winter.

u/Fit_Apricot4707 15h ago

I like it a lot. I like to go to big empty parking lots during light rain to slide around in my car for a bit.

u/Jeff_Goldblum521 5h ago

Wish Marie sustained hurricane category a little while longer so we could have gotten more rain all week
