“Raining here all day”

And real hard for an extended period of time. Had to drive from San Diego Airport up the Coast into Orange County then into Chino (inland Empire) from 12:00 on the rain was relentless. Moderate traffic on the Freeway but surprisingly everyone treated the rain with respect it was 45 mph across all 4/5 lanes. I didn’t see one accident the entire. 115 mile trip.

How did the pilot know the landing would be rough when the passengers first boarded?

Apparently you've never flown SW before. It's their shtick to make their pre-flight speeches humorous so people will remember them.

Actually I fly SW quite often. You're right, they can be humorous. Just reading it, how the passenger reported it, sounded serious. Now I'm laughing. 😂
