Monsoon

For all of you who have never lived in AZ, here is an interesting bit of information: we have a monsoon season. from late July through August we have thunderstorms that build in the east over the mountains, and then drop into the valley. They sometimes flood the roads, and cause trees and telephone poles to fall. The Arizona drivers have a pretty rough time with the slightest amount of water on the road. They slow down drastically and accidents are more common. Anyways it is nice to see the clouds and to get a little bit of moisture in the dessert.

Here is the first monsoon of the season last week as seen from our balcony.
