Here are a few photos I captured this morning as I walked downtown through gusts of rain.
Keeping an eye on the direction of the wind and slanting raindrops, holding my camera at the ready under my umbrella, I headed down from Cortez Hill to the Gaslamp trolley station. I wasn’t the only one trying to cope with San Diego’s first real rainstorm of the winter.

I live in downtown San Diego and love to walk around with my camera! You can follow Cool San Diego Sights via Facebook or Twitter!
I think I lived in San Diego 10 months before it ever rained. Such a great place!
The climate is hard to beat!
Very good, but …. Wahhh! You beat me to it… By a droplet or two. I’m about to write my own out-in-the-rain post.
There’s plenty enough rain to go around!
Oh my dear, how right you are!
Nice
Thanks!
In Singapore, as a result of degrading forests and clearing of trees for space for estates, we had a massive flood 2 mornings ago in the downtown region. People had to stand on the seats of the buses to avoid getting wet with water at waist level!
They had to stand on the seats! That’s pretty bad!
And at the bus stop too!
We get some flooding in San Diego, but nothing like that!
The infrastructure for sewers in SG is great but there is just too little soil and way too many roads so water can’t be absorbed.
Southern California is an arid region, and the soil here doesn’t get much rain, so when it pours we can have flash floods in certain places all of a sudden.
I had 9 inches in my front yard out here in El Cajon.
