Southern California gets touched by some hurricane rains fairly regularly. Nothing crazy.

When BJ and I were honeymooning in Jamaica it was hurricane season. I loved the warm tropical rain.

Every year the Santa Ana winds tear through my college campus. Most people get off school for "snow days," but we got off every January for "wind days" when the wind was over 70mph. It was fun! I'd go outside and jump during a gust, get carried a bit by the wind.
