Went to bed dry as a bone and somewhere around 3:30 AM got a bit of rain. Over 5 inches in Chandler alone. This is the I-10 at 43rd Avenue.

Wow! Wow! Wow!
Was reading it was a new record in PHX.
:yikes:
Just a monsoon or did the hurricane play into it at all?
The amount and frequency of rain this year out that way is phenomenal. Unfortunately I don't think it will help with the drought (drought? lol) :D
I was supposed to head up to PHX this morning for a meeting. I would have been going right through that stretch of Freeway. Decided to phone in :smile:
Wow, that's a lot of rain Doc!
Had a couple of down pours in Tucson this am, but nothing like that.
RR, yea this is influenced by Hurricane Norbert.

You might want to check our lake levels here in Arizona. You will quickly find reservoirs in excellent shape. We're not like California where environmentalists control things. We simply build the dams and continue to grow the demographic. California's drought condition is the worst.

I heard this report that we have the same reservoir capacity since the mid/late 70's here in CA
Instead of building more reservoirs to supply the population increase through the years the money is going to other things like a $68 billion high speed train to nowhere lol :biggrin:
Not trying to get political, just the irony of the situation amazes me.
