Major Monsoon Storm

We had a wild monsoon storm yesterday! It was crazy. The wind blew so hard it took my patio chairs clear across the yard. If you look closely you can see one in the tree.

We had so much rain the wash was running that I could see it flowing even from the house. That is not usual. We even had some hail. It started about 5 pm and then lasted for about 45 minutes to an hour. When the rain let up I went and took pictures of the wash so that we could remember how deep and fast it was. I tried to take video, but it didn’t work. I guess I didn’t know how to work the video right on my camera…but now I do. Looked it up this morning so that won’t happen again. Ha!

 

 

 

 

I had to go pick up Hunter and Ellie form their visit supervisor because she couldn’t get past some the floods in the roads on her way here. We saw downed trees around town and lots of debris. It cooled off rather nicely after that so the kids actually played outside for a bit.

Exciting times!
