It's Wet Outside*

So it started raining this morning. Not hard yet, but even just walking across the street to pay (cash) for my parking was frigid thanks to a whipping wind. The little image to the left is a thumbnail of what our local radar looked like when I pulled it up just now.
To really understand how much rain LA's gotten recently, take a look at these pictures from USC's Facilities department. That's a lot of water, in a lot of places it shouldn't be. City Hall's having the same problems, according to an article in today's Daily News.
Update (12:21pm): I just walked to the little market next door to pick up a 2-liter of Coke, and they were working to move merchandise and cover up items near a couple nice drips from the (very high -- 20ft?) ceiling. There was a decent amount of standing water on the floor.
