The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VII.. Stop In!!!

[ezdays]

Good morning all, yet another Monday morning for us. For those of you that work, I hope you're looking forward to getting things done, for those of us that don't, we have the whole day to put of what we need to do....

...Don - I saw where there was a dust storm in the Phoenix area yesterday. How long does a storm like that normally last?

All stay safe.

Some can last around a half-hour, others can go on for an hour or so. Usually, there's some rain following the dust storm, the rain insures that everything is coated in mud, every vehicle sitting outside is pockmarked with dirt. When they're followed by a lot of rain, it can take a while for the flooding to subside. There are small catch basins, lakes and washes that are used to trap or route the flood waters, but even then, may streets flood when these other things overflow. A lot of the washes cross roads, and in some cases are the road itself. We have what's called the, "stupid motorist law", where if you cross a barrier and have to be rescued from a flood, you have to pay the cost of the rescue effort.

Our "Monsoon" season has started, dust storms and rain the past two nights, and more in store all week.
