We just had the roof looked at today to have any leaks from the last storm patched up.
The cicadas were buzzing outside my window a couple of hours ago. This might be a big one. |

yeah..i will be picking some up tomorrow. I have to drive to Temoe 1st thing so will have lots of pass by locations to get something. I "should" not need them again, but my house is ADA so i don't have risers off the patio/porch. If it breeches it is going to be wet
We did okay on the last storm but it was close enough i need to do more just incase the worst happens |

So the consensus is this one will be worst than the last? If so, I need to get out in the yard and start digging a trench to route water away from the house... Last week was might on the border of damaging flooding.

One of the many uses for traffic cones.......that same setup works very good for butchering chickens so you don't have to chase them afterward.

This storm is/was so slow moving, as it loses its energy over land its mostly going to be lots of gentle rain... looking at the radar its just gonna be rainy and not any gully smashers... which is a great benefit to all those retention basins completely saturated STILL.

Light rain in Tucson/Vail this morning, overcast now, worst is yet to come (as per forecasters), integrity of bridges being called into question, media saying storm will be worse than the storm in 1983 that killed 14 people in Tucson (I was young but remember it well). We'll see if all the hype is justified, or just a way to get people to stop being stupid after the deaths last week in the washes.
Either way I'm glad I'm off today. |

I tend to think that also but better safe than sorry. The teenager is now home for the day, and the old lady is only 20 minutes away at work, however she has some of the most prone-to-flooding areas to get through to get home. She's no dummy however and will stay put for as long as needed, should the washes swell. She works next to a nice eatery, so a post-work steak and a beer with a work pal will certainly help convince her to wait it out! |
