A bit off topic, but in regards to weather and landings/takeoffs:
Yesterday 10/16 some flights into and out of LAX were not following the normal pattern of landing from the East (heading West) and take off from the East (heading West) I was beside myself for a bit when I looked up and saw AA 777 taking off to the EAST, right over the 405 freeway; as opposed to over the ocean. Pretty cool, and something that only happens once or twice a year if I'm not mistaken.
