That was one storm we had yesterday! It arrived here later than forecasted, but the high winds preceded the rain. Whenever the sky calmed down a double rainbow would pop up until the next deluge.
Creeks in the greater Tucson area reached flood level. It rained here all day, the first hard rain I can remember in a year.
Winds were so high the college closed early last night and I had to drive home in those near-hurricane winds. Traffic and construction signs off Highway92 were at a 45-degree angle; some were completely overturned from the wind.
We don't have any large trees around our house, but it sounded like something was banging against the south wall. It's too dark right now to see any damage, but I will take off early to get to the high school on time.
I'm picking up Pache after work today. For two nights we had the back porch door open for the dogs so they could pee at will. It was nice not having Sadie whine about going outside, or of having a cat attack us in the kitchen for the latest left-overs. Kevin was able to cook dinner in peace for two evenings.
Now KVOA says another storm is due overnight. This will be a milder one. I may hike around the AZT tomorrow to see if there are any sections that need our maintenance attention. Hope no one was caught overnight in this storm; I don't want to read about illegals frozen in the mountains nearby.
