The weather service wasn't lying when it said that a major storm system was to hit NorCal Friday. I woke up to lighting and thunder, I could almost see across the street! It was pretty bad for a bit...
By the time I got out of the house and onto 680 the bad part I guess had passed over me and gave me a little window to get moving... I should have set the alarm earlier... Duh... by oh well.
As i have said before there is something about rain that turns the normal California driver into a complete idiot. There were winds, I could feel them in the Impala... feel sorry for those in smaller, lighter cars, but man i cant think of ANY reason to be on 680 doing 40 mph... if thats what you want to do take the surface streets and get to work that way!
So now we have 40 mph drivers on the highway and then there are drivers doing the same speed but have at least a 100 ft gap in between them and the next car... guess what happened?? People begin to move on over and fill that hole to go around the idiot thats doing 40 in from of them! hahaha... then of course the driver needs to make the rain required 100 foot gap and the process continues ad infinium!
Hahaha... so once getting to Walnut Creek dealing with all of that... I figured I might as well take the hit for the car pool violation today if I get hit by the CHP. I didnt want to be in that mix of traffic this morning. I got to work no problems...!! ;-)
The storm that laying waste to this morning commute is pretty bad... its going to dump a whole lot of rain and snow onto the state... below is a image of just the Bay Area... Drive Carefully out there People!
