The Weather Outside is Frightful

 

It had just stopped raining when I left my house to go to Scottsdale.  While I was in Scottsdale it started coming down like crazy.  

When I got back to my car, the street where I parked was flooded and I wasn't sure how I was going to get into driver's side without wading through a river of rushing water.  I finally got in the back seat, slid across to other side, got out where the water wasn't so deep on the street side and then got into the driver's seat.  

However, getting into the driver's seat wasn't the end of the trials.  It was raining so hard it was hard to see anything and the streets were flooded in all directions.  It was very slow going but I made it home unscathed.  Then I got completely drenched in the short distance from my car to the covered walkway.  It was kind of like someone threw a bucket of water on me.



I haven't seen a storm like this in this area in a very long time.  It warranted three emergency alerts like this one.
