Day #178: Monsoon Season

When I first moved to Tucson, I would often hear people talk about monsoon season.  I was prepared for these big storms, gigantic downpours, etc.  Maybe last year I wasn't in the right place at the right time, but I was not very impressed.
Well....this year, that's a different story.
Huge storm today.  I was at Sarah's house about to head home and stayed an extra hour due to the rain.
Sief was at my house and lost power.  I eventually drove home.  The roads were actually better than I expected, but there were trees down, cacti down, and power lines right near where I live down.
I assume that I won't have power for at least a day if not more due to the power lines being down.
Thankfully, there's power at Sief's apartment.

Down pour with crazy wind outside Sarah's window.

A lake in my front yard.

Lucky for me I decided to pick up dog poop this morning!  

It was good plan, because there was A LOT of poop.

:( Magic Mesh - doggie door got blown down in the storm.

1 down tree near my house.

There were many more bigger ones, too.

The calm after the storm.

One of the most beautiful rainbows I've ever seen!

There was even a double rainbow, but you can't see it here.
