Thought I'd share some views of the wetness.  It was a nice hard 15-20min down pour.

Nice...

Got a little bit on flowing springs.

Finally!

We got some too. Heaviest was in the Pinetop/Lakeside area, but we did have a couple hours of some nice light rain to help the trees and grasses. Looks like we have better than 50% chances of rain for the next few days. One weather app is saying 100% for Monday, but of course it will be tuesday when I am pouring the slab for our house.

We finally got rain here too in Prescott.

It was glorious.

Got hammered yesterday. Went with a group of friends in some side by sides, the back way through the forest to pinetop for dinner. On the way there we saw the clouds really building up and looking very promising. So of course we challenged mother nature and told her to go ahead and rain on us, we won't mind getting wet. Well, when we left the restaurant, she obliged us. She pounded us with rain that was so heavy, we had to look out the side of the SxS to see the road, which had turned into streams. This lasted about 20 minutes, then she sent in the back ups.... gumball sized hail. That lasted about 10 minutes. Needless to say, when we left our property we were dressed for the 80 degree weather, meaning shorts, t shirts, and flip flops. By the time we finished the 45 minute ride home, we were beyond soaked and freezing. Once we got inside, the skies opened up again for about another 10 minutes of a good heavy rain. Forecast for the next several days are filled with better than 50% chances of rain. Finally looking up for things to start turning green around here.

Sounds like a great day.

We just got 1.1” in Mesa in one downpour. That’s greater than we’ve gotten all year so far.

Will this be enough to stop fire restrictions in BLM and National Forest lands????

2.5 inches here in Florence, heavy wind, and dime sized hail.

We were going to hit up the lake on our kayaks tonight, not now.

We'll spend all day cleaning up our house, and then help the neighbors.

I've lived here 36 years, and this is the biggest storms to ever hit us head on.

My son is in Buckeye, they had a wild storm Sunday night. A row of steel high voltage power poles were bent in half/blown over. Multiple trees down roof damage etc. All that but not much rain.

been raining every day now...the bears, foxes, coyotes have departed my backyard  :)

now its time to start scouting the peaks for my hunt.

compression fracture L3....shit.  think I'll just watch TV and GD.

Saw pics of the towers.  It was one of the giant srp 500kv towers.. it is mangled!

It takes a LOT of wind to knock one of those over. Micro burst or small tornado?

Microburst.  Code requires 90-100mph capability.  SRP builds them beyond that... so it was 100mph+

That must have been a very impressive fireworks show when those lines shorted out.

Camping season has finally begun!
