Went for a walk early yesterday morning to see what the damage was in the neighborhood following the Great Weather Bonanza of Friday. It was still cloudy (and, in fact, more thunder clouds rolled into the area in the afternoon, although there were only a few sprinkles thereafter), and it was the most humid I've ever felt it to be here.
First, the plant in the pot out front: alas, naught but stems remain.
At a neighbor's house, it was clear that the thin-leafed trees -- mesquite, willow -- took the hardest hit.
A lot of yard landscaping had washed into the roads.
The silt and detritus in the man-made arroyo was several inches deep.
Oh, dear.
Even the natural arroyos were carved afresh.
It's awe-inspiring to see the force of nature at work.
I love rain in the desert.
