it’s raining, it’s pouring…
Well, it WAS pouring.
See?
There’s a river where our street used to be!
So. Do you think this means our monsoon season has begun? 😊
After I took the last picture, I heard rain start falling pretty hard again, but it wasn’t falling on me. So I started walking back to my street, and could see it falling east of me, and slowly moving toward me. It was rather.. wierd. So I stashed the camera under my shirt and made a dash for the house. I had intended on taking more pictures, but I didn’t have an umbrella since it was only barely sprinkling when I went out. Ah well.
What I took does show that the flash flood warnings we get around here during monsoon are no joke. The rain will fall so hard and so fast, the ground has absolutely NO time to start absorbing it. That, and the drains usually get clogged up with the debris that gets torn from trees. We saw millions of pine needles and loads of palm tree debris all over one of the roads we were driving down on the way home, and the streets were just flooded since the drains were getting clogged.
When we went into Best Buy before all this hit, it was probably still well over 100 degrees (probably around 110)... by the time we came out (it had just started to rain), the temperature felt like it had dipped to around 95 or so. It’s so nice to get rain in the summer, except for the next day. Then it’s all hot AND muggy. Blech.
