1:30 AM: and it's supposed to rain Monday and Tuesday. Woo! I love rain!
1:45 AM: it's a freaking raining cats and dogs now! I love the sound of rain.
6:00 AM: it's morning now. The thunder outside is the loudest and deepest I've ever heard. It sounds as though there is a bomb going off a quarter of a mile away every time there is thunder.
11:45 AM: schools all over the state are closing down, not mine though… :(. Rain is predicted 100% until 2PM, and 50% until 5.
1:00 PM: we just had two consecutive power surges. We had to restart everything.
5:40 PM: I just got back from my park which is flooded. I'm watching the news now, all the networks are just covering the storm from today.
Note: Arizona gets really dry most the time, so when it rains here the ground can't handle it. The retention basins fill up fast, and we get serious flooding.
6:00 PM: this storm is officially the rainiest ever recorded in Phoenix. Ever.
6:10 PM: this is a national thing now, you should be able to check the news and see what's happening.

Today I learned what it was like to live in a houseboat.

Can you push those rain clouds over here to California?

I've never had school cancel for rain. The only time school was canceled was when there were those major fires back in 2009 (?)

I am on a two and half week assignment in Phoenix (headed home tomorrow). The rain wasn't anything I've not seen before in Florida, but here in AZ, it's clearly out of the ordinary. Tons of flooding and washouts, people late to work and roads as high as car hoods.

Meanwhile over here in California...
-
lol Arizona and rain. Sounds like the south with snow.

We had some pretty heavy rain today, nothing that shut down the school though.

Everywhere besides mine closed down, even though a huge part of the campus is full if water.
