Tip: Look for examples to make points easier to grasp.

- More rain than we've seen in a while: Compared to our usual sunshine-filled days, this was a tropical vacation for the local plants. But hey, at least our car washes are thriving!
- Social media went into full "Is this real?" mode: Let's be honest, San Diego isn't exactly known for its dramatic weather events. So, naturally, Twitter erupted with photos of flooded streets, overflowing gutters, and captions like "Is this San Diego or Seattle?"
Bonus meme: Someone please photoshop a surfboard onto a puddle. We're practically beach-ready now!
