Re: A few monsoon pics!
........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.
 Rick

Re: A few monsoon pics!
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  Rick is right about the washes. There are a few deaths every year in this area...from people who don't heed the warnings

Re: A few monsoon pics!
Rick,
I've heard about that flash flood phenomenon before, but I have no frame of reference. Coming from PA & NJ, it's not something we see there. What kind of warning ( time-wise ) do you get? Really, a ten foot wall of water?!
