........and what ever you do, heed the warnings about NOT parking in the dips in the road. Flash floods in the middle of the desert are deadly! If you have ever heard and then witnessed a 10' wall of water rushing down a wash in the middle of the desert, you will have a new found appreciation for them! I laughed at my brother when he warned me about them. I am no longer laughing. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

The storm lasted until 4am this morning(AZ time).

In certain areas, washes were overflowing (Chandler, Glibert, Mesa) power lines and trees are down everywhere https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Rick is right about the washes. There are a few deaths every year in this area...from people who don't heed the warnings https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif
