Valley Cleans Up After Monsoon Storm
In Arizona, we get used to the idea that in the summer, a monsoon can pop up at any time and bring with it high winds, blowing dust and driving rain. We were one of the 12,300 APS customers without power, which finally came on sometime during the wee hours of the morning.
The scary thing about these storms is that they include intense lightning and the winds can cause quite a bit of damage. Fortunately, our trees are still intact, although the pool will again need an intense cleaning to get all of the lovely yellow dust out of it. Unfortunately, the battery on my notebook didn't last long enough for me to complete all of my work last night, so it's catch-up time today!
The storms put on a great show, though. Here's a shot I took during one last year.
