Rain in the valley

And quite a bit of it, at least it appears that way. We'll have to see what the "official" inches tally is tomorrow.

But now to gripe about how some people drive in this type of weather. For one thing, no one in this city seems to know how to drive worth a damn when it rains. Or, more precisely, when it rains enough to leave about four to five inches of standing water on parts of the freeway. I was driving home from meeting my fiancee for dinner, and at one of the underpasses everyone was slowing down to drive through several inches of standing water. Except a large white truck, in the HOV lane. This dickhead blew through that water like it wasn't there, and of course, driving through it as fast as he was created a huge wave of water that poured onto the cars in the next lane. I was in one of those cars. It's hard enough to see whether I'm still in my own lane when it's under that much water without having some schmuck splashing my window with more water!

Anyway, I snagged a screenshot from intellicast.com of the cell than rolled through town.. this is pretty much smack in the middle of Phoenix:

Another snapshot of the state:

(the larger screenshot for this is not as large as the previous in file size, but the width/height is similar)


Hopefully this will bring cooler weather tomorrow like the rain from the other night did. I don't think it got more than 100 that day. :o)
