Just came back from the Supes. Drove out as far as the second wash after the entrance to the First Water Road. I drove through both of the washes in my 2002 Suzuki Grand Vitara barely but I doubt that they will be slowing down anytime soon. Lots of lakes out there in the desert and it's beginning to look like Minnesota! Stopped at Quick Trip on the way back and they were out of Gas!

And you probably don't have to worry about lightning today as a bonus!

I took the bus to work (State Capital area), and an hour later got a message saying, "...use your best judgement in deciding whether or not to come to the office today."
DANG!
Sometimes, being the early bird, just doesn't pay!

Our Superintendent is gutless:
"while school remains open, we encourage parents to keep students home if able. Thank you and be safe."
Not a single kid in my classroom. Hopes for hiking dashed.

1.5 inch at my place in Payson. I was up at 3 am and checking the weather was thinking of making a run to the valley for a storm photo trip.

4.5 inches at my house between 2 AM and 7 AM. I expect to see 6 inches in the rain gage when I get home from work.

I witnessed one kayaker, 2 dudes in a blow up boat, and some kids sliding down a makeshift slip-n-slide into the flowing Thunderbird park at Greenway and 67th Ave

The road to Peralta was a muddy mess this morning. Very slick and 4wd a must. The washes were running but not dangerously. By afternoon, the rain had stopped and the road had begun to dry out. By tomorrow, you might even be able to get a sedan out there again if you don't mind a few big puddles (lakes?) and some serious mud.
