Tucson didn't get off easy, either. 2 fatalities due to cars being swept into washes. And then this....

    Yes...a city bus driver driving into a flowing intersection...in full view of media cameras!!! You know that driver doesn't have a job (and HOPEFULLY has a revoked CDL) tonight. Fortunately, no one injured in that stunt.

    97 at this moment in OK. Tomorrow supposed to be 100. Then tomorrow night, big cold front begins approaching the area with storms beginning around 11pm. Thursday supposed to be 80 for high and Friday only 68! 30 degree drop in 3 days! Hope it holds true! Don't know how much rain we'll get but any would be appreciated!

    Was that a Hurricane that hit Aridzona and Nevada? The news is saying it was (LINK), but that would mean California, which is never supposed to get a Hurricane, got it too.

    No, the Canucks got it wrong. What hit was the remnants of a tropical storm that was the remnants of hurricane Norbert. And there are several mountain ranges between Arizona and California that funnel monsoonal moisture up into Arizona, which is why they got hit and we didn't, other than some t-storms in the mountains and deserts.

    Last hurricane to hit California was in 1858.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Aha! Makes sense. I think a few more decent sized storms and Calif might have what it needs for the next (winter?) growing season in the Valley.
