Finally - some RAIN!

Seems there's been rain all around us, but none at our house since spring, today, Mother Nature made up for it and we had over an inch of rain in less than an hour according to our rain gauge.  We were at lunch at Islands Restaurant near Paradise Valley Mall when it started so we decided to come home to see if we were getting drenched here and sure enough we were.  Here's some pictures of the drive. 

You'll see dry road and then a line where the downpour starts.  The rain was coming off the mountains so quickly the roads flooded in just minutes.



At first we thought this might be a funnel cloud starting but when we pulled over to take a look, it wasn't swirling, just a cloud that was heavy with rain I suppose.

  1. Pretty pics ~ you're such a good photographer. I'm thrilled you finally got some much-needed (and much-lusted after) rain. Espeially since you got so much so fast :)
