Recent drought and this year's monsoon.

[splitshot]

Looking for something positive. Just opened a $451 water bill. I guess that our property is somewhat green can fit but driving around Oracle is
scary, lot's of dying and dead oaks and junipers. Maybe a club rain dance is in order.

I thought we were going to get hammered last night but only got a couple drops.

We got absolutely hammered on the East side of town for about two and a half hours.

It's been hit or miss down here on the borderlands. Definitely not a good monsoon season so far.

Not the east side I live on. Not a drop.

I built a spreadsheet to track my rain gage at my house. It’s not good news.
My water harvesting tanks are barely half full. They should be running out the overflow by now. I have about 2600gal capacity.

What the holy beejeesus you growing up there? that’s a big water bill.

400$ water bill??!!! I used 6000 gallons and my bill was 70$. Are you filling your pool over and over??

Barely an inch, this entire monsoon season, and less than 0.10” in the last month here in Flagstaff. Feels like mid June in the forests.

We got some rain in East Phoenix around 2:50am. More bark than bite.

Brought dinner to friend momentarily at St. Joe's on Wednesday. As I was wrapping up an absolute slaughter of short ribs, it started to trickle, with some distant electrobooms making themselves known. Fifteen minutes later, at the main lobby, it was absolutely pounding. Natch' I'm way too tall for the parking garage, and I'm pretty sure I sprinted through a micro-burst. One of the wildest AZ monsoon spectacles I've ever seen, made incrementally more dramatic by the high-power spot light lighting between the big hospital buildings, which showed just massive curtains of rainy fury absolutely whipping through the 'Beggars Canyon just like back home' environment. Arizona is awesome.

I'm a little more Southeast of you over on 22nd/Houghton - hopefully we can get some more of that though!

Finally hit downtown!

 

[MaddBaggins]

Still nothing at my place.

I started this spreadsheet in May. Taking readings from my rain gauge.

Mornings have been weirdly cool this summer.

Just trying to keep stuff alive. Combo of one of the highest water rates in Arizona and some dumbass forgetting about a hose on
full blast till the next morning.

Doh! That’ll do it.

Still waiting for a couple more storms to fill my tanks. Friggin sad monsoon after a pretty sad winter as well.

That jibes pretty well with my rain gauge.

The Sky talked a little smack tonight but still not a drop.
