Well this is only true at the start. I think what is going on here is that the rainy part of the year isn't actually here yet so many of them got caught off guard and perhaps didn't have their rain gear with them.

I was just surprised that once the storm was over it was still nigh on impossible to get anything delivered. It's not that big of a deal. I can see a dozen restaurants from my balcony. I was just being lazy.
