Rain & Roads in LA!

It actually rained in LA today! The thing is though... it rains so infrequently, that it causes problems. #1, there's tons of oil on the road so there are always lots of accidents right when it rains. #2, there's a ton of dirt and dust buildup, so you end up with these mucky water puddles. #3, at least where I live, the sides of the road flood out because the gutters don't work properly. One of my co-workers explained to me the cause is a buildup of stuff in the gutters that never gets flushed by a regular rain.
