Thanks all...

Speaking of weather, we're getting a good pounding right now with a nearly constant roar of thunder. Good times.

Rain Coming down in buckets with some hail mixed in! Some of the hail looks big enough to do some damage to a car's paint job!

WOW! Wind blowing the rain and hail so hard from the south that I had to close Rich's dog door which is in at least 10' from my covered patio! Actually had some hail on the kitchen floor!
And from the looks of the weather radar, downtown Phoenix is getting hammered!

Went out front to check my bird bath...got almost 1" in it; there was a little tiny cottontail huddled in the corner of my porch looking half drowned. I got paper towel to try and dru it off some, but as soon as I reached for it it took off. Hope it survives. Sad

Mo rain, Mo rain, Mo rain

Hosed all the mud off the truck today. It was a lot easier than usual.

Came down in buckets here. Must have been directed by Hooligan's hot air over on the West Coast.

50% chance of rain tonight in Vegas. I've had my camera sitting by the door for weeks now hoping for a lightning shoot. Th is lack of rain really scares me.

We have had a faily active season! It has been awesome. If it could just rain without all this humidity hanging in the air that would be nice..... Rolling Eyes

I got rain at my house for a good 2-3 hours last night. No downpour but a nice steady rain.

Raining pretty good here but not nearly as heavy as Monday's rain, started about ten minutes ago. Weather radar shows a red blob seems to be heading this way, so could get some heavy stuff pretty soon.
