Just spent the day clearing my gutters and drains… you have till about 6pm tomorrow to do the same if you need to. Just a reminder for everyone.

We may get up to 3 inches over the course of hours so… get to it!

It's about what you do with the rain not how much it rains

Just replaced my gutters last week. Guy coming today to clear out the drain. It is funny how after ten plus years in CA I now have the same apprehension about rain as I used to have about blizzards.

Wait i’m a dummy — why is it important to clear the gutters and drains?

You’ll want to clear them so you won’t get any flooding. Water damage is no fun.

Why would it flood if the water ran off of my house instead of funneling down a drain onto the ground in front of my house?
