Downpours
Pray for rain they said.
A lot of people did and it must have worked because we are being stormed on for the last day and no end in sight until Christmas Day.
We are not in any danger of flooding. The condo is up from the ground but some people do have trouble and use bumpers to keep the water from the door.
In the desert, when it rains. it truly pours and the ground is hard so a lot of it runs off. There are considerable flood channels built to take the extra water but not every developer was careful to provide the right drainage.
Walking and pee-pee for the dog is a bit of a challenge. Marcus doesn't like to get wet. But we put a big towel on the floor when he comes in and make a big game of rubbing him down. That he likes.
It is going to slow and stop a bit today, then come back heavy later on.
It is also cold for us. In the 50s for the day temperatures. Brrrr.
This may not be enough to end the long drought but it will be a good start.
