Texas Flood

[Mark Smith]

I had a classic come-uppance about ten years ago. I was in Los  
Angeles during December, and there were some fairly heavy rains.  
There were power-cuts, the roads were flooded, cars were sliding  
around like snowboards -- chaos.
I and the other brits I was with were laughing at these silly  
angelenos who couldn't cope with a spot of rain - (which is all it  
was, by our standards).

I came home to London for xmas, and we had perhaps an inch of snow.  
The trains didn't run. Cars were sliding down hills straight into the  
backs of buses. People were stranded at work with no way home -  
people were stuck at home with no way to get to work -- chaos. I had  
to laugh some more....

Glad you're all ok,

Mark
