No measurable rain here for 119 days ended with a bang. Two thunder cells merged and dropped over 2 inches of rain in 40 minutes. We had wind gusts up to 71 MPH and lots of downed trees and limbs. We badly needed rain. But, holey moley…….get the ark ready.

Where is this? I would love to see it in person, if it is actually real.

We also need rain, the lawns are brown here.

Last week we had a heat wave( 7 days straight) with very high humidity.

This week the weather has decent. Low humidity. Temps in the 80s.

Posted this many hours before my inappropriate rant. I deleted that thread thanks to help from some here. I got over it.....:opps::opps:

We sustained a lot of damage in the neighborhood. Probably 10-20% of the homes in my housing development have noticeable damage. Lots of roof shingles, awnings, carports, & trees littering the streets and golf course. The only damage we had was to our flag pole. The wind bent it 90 degrees at the ground. Left it laying flat in the yard. Several power poles on the main street a couple of blocks away were knocked down. Lots of repair and clean-up crews out today. The storm had a pretty good punch.....

Wow, glad you escaped major damage. My parents use daily to love in Tucson and told me about the monsoons! Hope you continue to stay safe.
