I don't know about you guys but im kinda feeling the rain, its been a while since it had rained this crazy.

My commute to work was kinda crazy, i commuted 8 miles from San Bruno to SF. During that commute, i've seen over 6 accidents, one every mile or so. Traffic was moving 5-10MPH.

I've also heard that on the Bay Bridge there was over 50 accidents?!!! [Eek!]

I got soaked in rain just by pumping $10 gas in my car... Ahhhh but man the rain is off the hook.

took me about 1hr to get from daly city to santa clara around 7am. saw an accident just happen right on 280 near 92 on the opposite direction where this mazda 2door was hydroplaning, spun out 3 times and finally met up with a guardrail. i was surprised that only one other car was affected. for a second there it looked like the mazda was intentionally drifting and spinning out.
