Summer is here! After 3 months of ZERO rainfall we now have our beloved afternoon, oh my god the world is ending, Thunderstorms. They hit EVERY day between 3:00 and 5:00 and last from 30 minutes to 3 hours.



Here is a visual from out in front of our office:

Jims5543 06-03-2004 03:10 PM

The bulk of the storm is North of us. It will prbably not rain at my house 10 miles south today.

Turbo II 06-03-2004 03:16 PM

rain sucks. i love LA

banzaitoyota 06-03-2004 03:17 PM

send the rain up here please

Baldy 06-03-2004 03:19 PM

Wow, I didn't know it dad that in south fl too.



"it's raining. damn, I missed my 2:00 appointment!"



and I have yet to figure out the main difference between "isolated" and "scattered" thunderstorms

It NEVER rains in L.A??



We are on the verge of of a statewide emergency. We are like 50 points from being rated a desert here. We have been in a nasty drought for over 2 months now.



We need the rain bad. Or else we will be dealing with wild fires.

Turbo II 06-03-2004 03:27 PM

yeah we deal with lots of wild fires. it rains sometimes, like 2 - 3 weeks out of the year

TYSON 06-03-2004 03:35 PM

We had rain 25 out of 31 days in May. Including 5 hail storms! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png

Gen2RXSeven 06-03-2004 03:42 PM

Send the rain down here Jim, we haven't had decent rain in a long time, this whole week was suposed to be rain, but nothing so far, and the fire is so much fun to smell everytime I step out side since we're only 7-10 miles from where it is. lol

Thats almost the norm around here.



Along the front range we have been in a drought for as long as I can remember.

It's funny, after so long, you'd think that they'd concede to calling this rainfall pattern 'normal' and then when it rains call it really friggin wet. For some reason people around here have a hard time accepting that they live in a high altitude desert!

Gen2RXSeven 06-03-2004 09:11 PM

Yay, finally started raining about half an hour ago, just a little rain, so I atleast don't have to swim from the car to the front door................... yet.





Cause everyone knows, its alot of fun to get off of work, go home, get ready to get out the car, and you end up standing in a good foot to foot and a half of water

mazdadrifter 06-03-2004 09:40 PM

yeah i've noticed it's not even really isolated storms, it's more like huge powder kegs floating around in the sky. You could barely see where your driving, then 5 seconds later it's too hot and sunny to have your windows up.



some days you dodge them all togther, some days you swim home, but by 7 it's all clear anyways

Rob x-7 06-03-2004 09:43 PM

******* rain everyday would drive me crazy washing the car

and working outside

j9fd3s 06-03-2004 09:43 PM

yeah a lot of the country you can almost set your watch by the rain. not really here, we do get an on shore wind about 5:00 though, cools everything down

TYSON 06-03-2004 09:45 PM

Bah, Our weather people can barely give you a 6 hour heads up on a weather system!



Damn lakes. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/dry.png

You just get wet. Better than working outside when it's dry, and hot as hell. I've found myself wanting to go stand in the rain, so when it stops I won't feel as hot (short rains make it really muggy).

Seraphx7 06-04-2004 07:51 AM

we had a fire last week for miles out west screwing with our beloved Everglades. have to be careful, they where saying its so dry that heat from an exhaust can set off a fire. I was at Bill Baggs park in Key Biscayne (top 10 most beatiful beaches in the U.S. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub... ) yesterday and almost melted.

Dramon_Killer 06-04-2004 04:27 PM

Rain is for pussies, real states get tornados.

i lived in FL for a few years, i wanna go back. You could tell the tourists on the beach cuz it'd start to rain and they run. We stayed put cuz we knew 5 minutes later it'd be sunny again LOL

how true, you can also tell they are the ones always picking up every shell they see on the beach. and they are so white you need sunglass's just to look at them.
