When I saw on the news that Monsoon season was starting in Arizona I wasn't sure what that even meant. Then came Thursday.
The weather outside this whole day had been great. Cloudy was a great change from the heat. Then the wind started to pick up, then the pouring rain, followed by a micorburst.
The grand finale is my neighbors tree falling right
next to the house.
This is the same tree, different angle.
The best part is the aftermath. Playing in the water. The street was a river of water an hour before this. I wish I had a picture of that. In the time it took the bus to get here and the kids home most of it drained away.
They had a great after school workout and then they wanted hot chocolate. Which I couldn't find. I know I have seen it but have no idea where I put it. Uhhhh... not that they needed hot chocolate it was hot and humid outside and the water was warm.
They did all get a warm bath. Which I have discovered this time of year you can't really get cold water, its all warm. I worked outside in the heat and tried to take a cold shower to cool off and the water wouldn't get cold. ODD and annoying. Although I will take it any day over Girls Camp showers that were always iceberg cold when you wanted warm.
There were trees down all over the neighborhood. It was garbage day so there were cans all over in the road when it was over. I now know what they are talking about when they mention monsoon's. I am still waiting on the dust storms I have heard about and something about a frog apocalypse. I'll have to keep you posted on that.
