Moonsoon Damage at Gladden Farms, Marana near Tucson, AZ

Had one of those HOWING rain storms yesterday afternoon, complete with hail and high winds.  It seems the storm hit and the power went out, simultaneously.

After about an hour of candle-lit atmosphere in our rapidly heating home, we set off for nearby Tower Theatres and a big bucket of popcorn for dinner.

Many parts of the road had washed out areas and I wondered how folks got home when the weather was long-term severe.  There's really only two roads to this area from Tucson - South Houghton and Sahuarita, across from Highway 19. This is driving straight south towards the Santa Rita Mountains, south of Tucson.

Where's the Rain?? Monsoon season officially begins June 15  in Southern Arizona.
They're BA-A-A-CK!

I heard on TV that the National Weather service has released a statement saying that the moonsoon season begins June 15 for SE Arizona Desert dwellers. However, they are not predicting rainfall...yet. For those of you that don't know, SE Arizona's "normal" precipitation level is approximately 14.8 inches, with Tucson topping off at 12.17.  In 2008, rain levels were 8.67" in Tucson, and SE Arizona - 13.30". Also, depending upon which publication you view, you're likely to read something about Arizona experiencing close to 350 days … (0 comments)
