Consider that 2009 rain was half what has been normal (6 inches less than normal) and you can see how dry things are. It's surprising that we haven't had more fires!
Last week was the rainiest for a long time! We had almost 2 inches over three days. It was the rain system that hit California a few days earlier.
You can see from the photo that our mountains are snow-capped. Mt. Lemmon (9,000 ft) had several feet of snow and the ski run there is open. The road up the mountain has been closed until today.
All the washes had running water. The few washes that cross over streets forced the streets to be blocked off. They're always a few who insist they can plow through the 2 or 3 inches of fast-running water - and get stuck. They have to be towed out and probably get fined.
Just had to let you know about this wetting event!
