Yes we actually got some rain here in town. Where my friend lives in the south side there was up to one inch of rain. Stole these from on line.
Big old black cloud over us. Some lightening and a couple booms of thunder.
Sound on - the pitter patter of rain drops.
I thought for a few minutes the wind might blow the Palo Verde tree over. Gusting up to 50/60 mph. When these Monsoon rains move by we get what they call "outflow winds" sometimes really strong.
Got a nice surprise from our youngest son who lives here. He sent three girls/women over to clean the house. I was just getting ready to mop the floors. Yippee!
Thank goodness for kind children!
ReplyDeleteThanks for always doing the blog. We all know how much effort it takes.
ReplyDeleteI was there about 3-4 years ago, camping at Valley of Fire, when we had 2.5" of rain over 2 days. Lots if little rivers in the campground, but I am sure the wildlife was happy.
ReplyDeleteKathy - yep sure appreciate him, especially now with Bill not being able to drive.
ReplyDeleteDoug and Nancy. Thank you, not much to write about though. Takes a week to think up a few things.
Judy. I cannot believe they went hiking in over 110 heat. And next week we are going to get monsoon rains, so it will probably flood out there too. Already they are putting commercials on the TV about not driving into flowing water on the streets. Or going into the tunnels.
