It's raining in Yuma.

Not just a little rain, 65 mph winds, hail and rain.


I'm glad I have the genny and some gas.

 

I never thought about you guys getting rain and high winds in your area until we got hit by that crazy storm in Quartzsite in Jan 2010 and that tornado in Blythe.
We couldnt even make it down to Yuma because there were rivers running across 95. Every other time we were there it had been bone dry.

 

And you thought the desert does not bloom,wait two weeks.

 

I didn't realize that Irene made it that far west.

 

It was just a freak storm... the sand storm was unbelieveable. I've seen sand storms before... I went outside to shut the garage, and there was a sandstorm in there, too.

It rained enough for water to drip off the roof in spurts. That's about it.

I had to go outside and cut the net off the trampoline, it was about to exit the back yard.

I'm scared to see what it looks like this morning.

 

I lived in Prescott, AZ for 8 years. It doesn't rain, it down pours for 15 minutes then turns into a sauna.

 

I'll take a blizzard over a hurricane anytime.

 

Nothing more fun than sitting by a dry wash waiting for the parade. There is always some one that thinks they can get across.
