  • So, how's YOUR weather today?

    It's a bit damp here in Irvine today.

    These pictures were taken from our second floor Customer Care Center area, overlooking our parking lot and street. The sidewalk is underwater, never mind the road!!

    Here's the storm drain from our main building. Those of you who have been to our Saturday or Thursday Night classes will recognize the garage doors.



    That's a PT Cruiser cutting a wake through the intersection. You can see the base of the fire hydrant is under water. And yes, it is that dark out at 3:00 in the afternoon!!



    ]



    This is our co-worker Ash Erickson leaving the office. He works in our Marine division, so he should feel right at home today!!!



    This might be the same PT Cruiser from that earlier shot. Maybe he's just out having some fun, splashing around in the puddles like a little kid!





    A Dodge Ram comes charging through!





    And the 5 Series BMW is up to his front plate in the water.



    For the record, as I type this the sun has come out and the water is already receding to the point you could walk across the street without getting your ankles wet. Let alone your knees.

      Man, it's pouring out here in the inland empire. There's so much water in the streets (they are practically flooded) and drains, you can grab a skimboard and cruise LOL.

          I will take the flash flood rains over my weather any day.

              The winds were crazy today too! There were big branches and even a few trees that fell over by my house.

              I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.

              I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
              Remove swirls my friends.

                Luckily I got my detailing in before the rain, so the water's all beading off!

                Weather up here in Redondo was low 60s and moderately heavy rains/winds.. Around 3:30 everything just stopped... sky was crystal clear!

                  Just as wet 80 miles south of Meguiars here in normally sunny San Diego. I once drove through a puddle as I approached work that was as deep as the ones Mike posted, in my 1993 Civic, which is a low vehicle to begin with, and I was gunning my engine the whole time to keep from stalling. I made it through but had no brakes as i coasted past the security guard into the employee parking lot

                    It was very nice here today. Sunny, high around 55. I got both the daily driver Accords washed and waxed. You can have your rain!

                      Same as it has been for the past 3-4 days. Dense fog and in the low to mid 30's. Would love to see some sun, just to say I have seen it .

                        It was a near perfect day here in SW Missouri. Mid 50s and sunny. It was a much needed break from too much cold, rainy weather.

                          Naturally, all the cars out front of Meg's show nice beading!

                              WOW! That's a lot of water Mike. But hey, count your blessings it's not snow. I HATE snow and wouldn't fret if I never saw another flake in my life but, until I get a job with Meguiar's or win the lotto I'm stuck with it.
