Fucking bay area man. It never even thunders here. I've been here two years and already I'm a wuss like everybody else. I'm sick of complaining how hot it is when it hits 80 and how cold it is when it hits 65, and how it's raining when there's just a thick mist in the air.
Actually, the last time this happened to me was when I visited SF a few weeks ago. There was pretty shocking rain and awful winds. I had a cheap umbrella.
