Today, I woke up to it raining. My area really needs it, so it's great. I didn't expect to wake up to a hole in the roof though. FML

Hello im op. I live in california, so its nice to have rain. It rained so hard last night that there's a steady dribble of rain dripping on my bed. We're short on money right now though, so it'll be a while until it can be fixed

Not sure where you are in California, but send the rain towards LA. Still sunny out here...

I live in California too and when I woke up to the rain, I woke up to find out that my mom had opened my window at some point, but mines a much easier fix. I feel it tho OP its harsh

I hope you can fix it as soon as possible. I've never had a hole in my roof myself, but I'd assume it's horrible, not to mention cold! At least you got rain though, right? :D

You must live in the bay area! I'm assuming cuz it rained here and I don't know of anywhere else in CA it was supposed to rain. That really sucks about the roof. Maybe you can put a plastic tarp on it until it can be fixed? Look at the bright side though, we got some rain at last!

You can have all the rain from BC Canada it rains here half the year here id rather live in LA imo

You're totally right about the rain in the Bay Area. Crazy wet conditions everywhere!

Do you live in the 530/Redding area? That's where am I and it was a DOWNPOUR!

Weird, we just got a downpour in the midwest as well. My house was struck by lightning, having a lot of "fun" with repairs.

Do you, by chance, live in the Central Valley?

I live near Sacramento and it rained here too

Yes I live in Northern California and the rain is much needed here. Sorry that happened to you op!

That really sucks! Last year my entire apartments living room ceiling caved in. The maintenance guy thought we were exaggerating and told us they had other apartments flooding and would get to us later. They didn't come until the next day. When they walked in the one guys goes, "Are you ******* kidding me?" I'm like Ya, we told you...xD took a month to fix, hope yours is fixed soon!

Update... Rain has reached SoCal. Locals confused. Driving has become nearly impossible. Send help.

#33 it rained up north too... I live in Sacramento and also live in Chico and it poured rain really hard in these two areas. It's also expected for us to get thunderstorms later today as well.

I have to second the tarp, tack it to the roof to redirect water away and get in the attic with a wet shop vac to clean up as much as possible to prevent rot or even worse mould.

Hey OP. Also from the Bay Area and the shower was indeed quite nice. Sorry about the roof.

I live in the central valley and we had major thunder not 20 minutes ago. I'm loving it!

Get a temporary seal. Hope you go out enjoy some rain time

One of the issue with the California water problem is they allow about 70% of their rain water to run into the ocean. BUILD MORE RESERVOIRS!!! Oh ya and buy some shingles and do a patch job.

i live in stockton, it rained hard last night!

The storms coming down from the north so you might be in luck!

I'm with 56, I can't stop thinking how much water is in the attic if water was dripping onto your bed. Definitely get a tarp on the roof and go clean up the attic. Maybe put a tarp down up there too. I would also move the bed just in case the tarp doesn't prevent all the rain from coming in. Hope you don't get rot or mould in the attic op!

Get some flex seal for now until you can get it fixed

do you live near northern california. cuz its drizzling in LA rn.

its easy enough to get a tube of silicone and a caulking gun from the hardware store, climb up into the roof cavity and fix it yourself.

I live in Fresno Cali. I'm glad we have rain. Good thing my roof is still good.

NorCal got some rain as well and hasnt really stopped yet. Rain been here all weekend

OMG!!! I saw your face on the news!

Would home insurance cover this? I would hope so.

You must be new here. There's always some YDI "noise" from accidents, trolls, people with different opinions of varying validity, from assholes just trying to get a YDI badge, etc.

Some times people accidentally hit the wrong button I do it all the time it's like a typo

It's raining, it's pouring , it'd happened while you were snoring

Hey you must live in Cali. Too bad the hole didn't let you enjoy the rain.

That's what I was thinking too lol in the central valley we need the rain.

Some people must not understand the you deserved it choice very rarely should it be used

I'm going to guess you're in Nor Cal like me. I had similar luck. It wasn't supposed to rain that hard, so I left my window open a little so I could hear it. My windowsill was drenched this morning.

so sorry OP! My school got flooded today because of hail, weather sucks sometimes
