Everything was completely backed up despite a feather modest storm I was having lunch at Ginos in Long Beach at the time one the thunderstorms forced everyone off the beach on a Saturday years ago. It was just a crush of people on foot running off the beach and a traffic jam of cars getting stuck. So many people ducked into Ginos that the line was out the front door and the guys at the counter couldn't really keep up. I had to wait about an hour to drive home since the streets were all blocked with cars and people going to the train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
