It's 3:30AM in Las Vegas and I was just waken up by the heavy, heavy rain going on outside. The water is going up over the curb and we probably got at least 1/2 inch of rain in less than 20 minutes, which is about 10 times as much rain as we have had this year, so far.
And then, as suddenly as the rain started, the rain ended.
Monsoon time in the desert Southwest.
Now, I can go back to bed.

Ah, phooey, I slept through it! I LOVE monsoon time. It's been a while since we got a good one. In the mid- to late-90s, we had some amazing rains, sometimes floods. I think since then, the flooding has all been cured by the washes and retention basins. But I just love the amazing buckets of rain we can get, when we get it.
ReplyDeleteLately, I get excited about watching it rain, just like I enjoyed watching it snow when i lived up North.
