And Speaking of Storms...

To do justice to this picture, you need to click your cursor on it and enlarge it; to do justice to seeing the storm, you would have had to have been there. This was taken last Monday evening over Oatman mountain by The First Cousin's daughter-in-law. They are farming in Gila Bend, and watched this storm develop from their house. What a magnificent sight!

I see that Arizona made the front page of Fox News with our flash flooding. So the weather is really the topic of conversation today. Our office took a field trip around the storm drainage areas along Guadalupe, Sossaman and Recker Roads; everything is running or overflowing the ditch banks. We don't usually get one and a half inches of rain in under two hours, so we have to expect a little flooding. All the retention basins we passed in Morrison Ranch had more than a little standing water. They are working as intended.
