Had to get a picture of Jose' in our backyard today...I noticed he was tipped over...looked like maybe he had too much too drink, but his friend Bob the Burro was holding him up...but not to confuse you, Jose' doesn't drink...the storm just blew him over...poor fellow...he's sitting upright now right where he belongs!
Yesterday was the BIGGEST storm we have ever seen here. The beginning pictures are during the storm from our house and BESIDE our house...the wash which is normally DRY as a bone...but as you can see it turned into a raging river with rapids!!!! It was the most amazing thing. Thats what they say about flash flooding here in the desert. You honestly can't imagine that it could happen here because it is so absolutely dry here most of the year...but yesterday this came so suddenly. Glad Tom and I had gotten home a little earlier so we could be home to experience this and not get washed away IN it. I was late for my doctor appointment, but we were stuck here because all the washes were overflowing as you can see and you are not ever, ever supposed to cross these while they are raging...and raging they were!!! The lower pictures are of the aftermath that Tom and I went out in the Razor to check out the damage of the storm. Wow!
ay yi yi!!!! this is super duper crazy! i bet it was really something to witness first hand-wow-oh-wow! having seen how dry that wash actually is myself, it's incredible to see how much water is truly rushing down that wash! what a mess the aftermath is.... jose is quite hilarious=) thx for capturing it all for your rain-adoring daughter!;)
