HELP!!! about common house insect/bug????

Question

I live in southern california and it rained today which brought out a ton of silverfish looking insects. However, they are not silverfish nor are they centipedes. These move slow and kind of have a curl to them...They are black and seem to have a little shell for a torso and also jump when contact with water. Not fleas either, these are much bigger about a 1/4-1/2 inch. Maybe a cross between a huge flea and silverfish...Thanks

Look up 'rove beetle'. I'm not sure that's what you have, but some of your description sounds like it.
