Dave and I spent a few days in LA celebrating a good friend’s nuptials. Expecting sun, heat, and classic California weather, we packed shorts, swimsuits, and tank tops. On the first day, a rainstorm prompted breaking news. A tornado touched down—a first in LA in years. (click for cool picture of twin tornadoes) We shook our heads more than once and wondered why so many people would tell us, ‘it’s raining,’ as they would stop and stare at the rain slowly soaking the pavement. The shower caused traffic to back up. This was odd California weather, and we heard enough weather comments to think we were back in Minnesota… but we didn’t let it dampen our spirits. More to come!

What's interesting is how LA folk use the term "weather."
In LA, there is no such thing as good weather. "Weather" is always something like rain.
For instance:
Person one: We could have some weather today.
Person two: We haven't had any weather in quite some time.
Ha! Love it, Workman!
