Still raining


Watching from my front window

Rain in the desert isn't always gentle. Over the last couple of days we've had two "gullywashers," mostly the rain falls faster than the ground can absorb it.

When this happens, canyons and washes quickly overflow and flash floods happen quickly.

No deaths this time around, but there is definitely flooding.

This morning's rain is a light drizzle, but the sand is so saturated that the water is just flowing freely.

Good reason to stay in town.
