It's Bush's fault. ;)

LOL

Someone lost a 928.

A lawyer on his way to work?

Finally got that beachfront property in AZ.!
 

Seriously, hope all the Pelicans are dry there. :)

Seriously also, will need to give used cars from AZ. an extra sniff from now on.

Wow. Hope everyone is okay.

Does a rain like this get captured and recharge groundwater? Is there a silver lining?

I was surprised to learn that the Phoenix area has a lot of underground water.

more now ;)

No, definitely Obama's fault. He is in charge now!

I posted this on Facebook earlier... I called it "Field of Streams."

And with a high of 90-something today, call it Fields of Steam.

yeesh, so much for but it's a dry heat.

I'm in Germany now and just saw all this while reading the news on my phone at dinner. Mrs. Lee texted me and said it wasn't that bad, though the flowers I had ordered to be delivered to her office for her b-day did not make it because of the closed roads.

Yeah, not too bad here either. Although that was one heck of a rainstorm. I think that fills the quota for the 100 year flood, so we should be good for a while, lol... (knocking on something that floats).

Unfortunately all of our roads must have been designed on our 330 days of sunshine.

I'll make you a great deal on a new 991 Turbo Cab:

Here in the southeast "Valley of the Sun" it was pretty bad. Fortunately we elected not to flood irrigate last weekend, so basically all that happened was that our lawn got a free watering.

Others did not fare so well.

Search around, some of the footage is pretty ... interesting.

I saw that picture on one of the news web sites! I wouldn't have driven my Mazda through that!

at least it isn't sea water.

Yeah, it feels a bit like Florida right now, lol.

Although in this situation we had a bit of help from Norbert, (as did Mexico, Baja, San Diego, LV, etc.), there is no getting around the fact that our annual "Monsoon Season" can make things interesting. Usually it's just the minor annoyance of a dust storm or increased humidity (or even a welcome spat of rain).

My pool began to flood over the edge...had to run the pump on "Waste" to get it down.
Whew!
Back yard (1 acre) is flooded - 8" deep and threatened my patio before the rain stopped.
Scottsdale - Hwy 101 and Chaparral Road.

We are all clear out here in Gilbert. Although the neighborhood green belt is holding about 4ft of water. Pics later

If she's of the Liberal persuasion, yes indeed.
A new car, a year's supply of vitamin pills, dental floss, dog food, and tampons.
Unless, of course, she admits to being naive enough to live there.

:D

The whole neighborhood is probably a "flood plain", so you figure it out.

Well ... time flies. ;)

Are you ready for another?
