The storm that moved through is a sign of things to come.
If anyone had any doubts that this is going to be a big el nino year, they just haven’t been paying attention.
Records for rainfall are being set, ocean water temperatures have been up, the month of October set a record for being unusually warm and the Sierra Nevada mountains are finally starting to get some decent snow amounts.
All good news for the drought in California.
The bad news is we could have some flooding, and that’s why county disaster officials have been telling everyone to be prepared.
The other bad news is that drivers here in Southern California are going to get a quick lesson in how to drive in the rain.
We already know that a lot of drivers don’t know much about how to drive in the rain. Steady drizzle already cause lots of accidents so heavy el nino rains means drivers are going to have to learn how to deal with it.
If you’re a transplant living in San Diego who moved here from somewhere else, then you may already know how to drive in the rain.
But then if it’s been a while since you moved here, you may need a refresher course.
Of course everyone usually thinks that everyone else doesn’t know how to drive in the rain and they are the ones who need to learn.
But with the coming el nino, maybe it’s time for all of us to do a refresher lesson with the driver we know the best, ourselves.
