Since moving to AZ in 2009, we have heard tell of the infamous MONSOON. I have laughed and poked fun at the news stations making such a big deal over a little wind and rain. On July 31st however, I understood what they meant. We were hit with pounding rain and 55mph winds for over 90 minutes. Homes, roads, and businesses were flooded, people we stranded on the roads in rushing torrents, not to mention property damage and downed trees/catci. Here are some of the pics I captured just outside my house.

Our park complete with new water feature!
I will never balk again! Although I hear storms like this are one in 100 years so the Monsoon still has a lot of unjustified hype on the day-to-day basis here in the desert. This one was one not to be missed! |
