So this morning I drove out to Costa Mesa to finish a 5 class course on how to pass the CSET Math test. Well, on the way there it decided to rain…a lot.

I was headed south on the 605 to get on the 91 east, and it started to pour. Not only was the rain coming down in buckets, but then it started to hail. There was so much water coming down that even with my wipers on high, I couldn’t see a thing. Myself and every other car on the freeway came to a complete stop…not because of rush hour, or a traffic break…but just because there was too much water to see where you were going.

It was a really weird feeling just stopping on the freeway. I kept checking my rearview mirror because I was afraid someone would run into me, but everyone behind me was stopped too. People had even started pulling over to the side of the road. Later on I saw one car facing the wrong way on the freeway, and another car that had driven into an embankment off to the side. It was crazy.
