Perhaps He is trying to get their attention.
Here in Bakersfield, we’re also looking at 45 mph winds, which means right in the middle of driving rain, I’m probably going to lose my back fence, which hopefully will land in the neighbors yard and he can call his insurance company to replace.

We were downtown in Charleston a year ago when a storm hit, with rain falling harder than I’d ever seen, not letting up, loud and powerful, and the street was a couple inches under water. We ended up running through it for the car. I was laughing with absolute delight like an idiot. So fun. I videoed it like only a tourist from SoCal would. For us it was like visiting Mars.

When I lived in SoCal, they got a 4-5 inch rain, it caused major destruction at the military base where I worked and caused major havoc throughout the region.
Where I live now, if there is a 4-5 inch rain forecast, I park my car outside for a free carwash.
My daughter lives in Ventura, she moved there from Oregon because she didn’t like all the rain.
