I live in Tucson,Arizona And while I'm sure most of ya think Of Arizona as a big dust bowl thats not so. We have MONSOONS no kiddin' the mosoonal flow up from Mexico, were riht in the way of it and usually with spectacular results! The clouds will build all day long up on the Rincons(mountain range) pilein' up on top of each other `till it looks like they're goin' all the way t`heaven, then the sun'll start to go down and the rumblin'll start when finally at sunset with a swoosh an'a boom here comes the storm,RAIN! man you couldn't pour water outta bucket that fast,an' wind and thunder and lightnin' we've got a flat roof an I swear ta GAWD I'v seen rain flyin' off that roof 7 or 8 feet then it'll stop just as sudden as it started. `till the next day, or maybe two days then it'll start all over again. The monsoon season usually lasts about 6 weeks, this year it started ou late and it's still goin 2 months later. peace-Biskit-
