Looks like some nasty flooding from a desert rain storm.

Hope everybody in the area is OK.

About an inch and a half here at the house; some areas around the Valley
got up to 5 inches, including areas 30 miles to the north of the city
limits signs. Several rescues from cars washed off the road, including
some drivers who went around barricades and dared to cross. Got a
Stupid Motorist law that'll have those guys paying for somebody saving
their hides. Morning rush hour was a mess - thank goodness I'm retired!

Another storm moving in right now (almost 8 pm), lots of thunder out
there, and rain coming down.

And toad stranglers.
