SF Can't Stand the Rain

This morning San Francisco hosted the first real rain in six months. We're not talking cats and dogs, or typhoons, or hurricanes here--simply normal showers, albeit during rush hour.

However, it had the effect of a blizzard on these wimpy Californians. Due to this at-times-hard, at-times-basically-nonexistent rain, the following events occured:

-Local underground transportation ground to a halt.
-Cell phone service stopped working.
-Large sections of the city lost power.
-My wimpy dog refused to go on a walk without hovering beneath my umbrella.

What a bunch of wimps! I generally love San Francisco weather, but it's incredibly annoying how the first rain of the season grinds this city to a halt.

Not to mention an accident I witnessed on Market St. that happened solely because people don't know how to drive in the rain here. It would not have happened in a million years in a normal part of the country.
