yep, you're right; Nov 8. I was confusing it with the Packers home game for some crazy reason.

It's all good...we can do the hotel thing :)
I only remembered because that is my wedding anniversary. I can help you find a good hotel. I think I owe you two pizza for something.

Got wind... yup. Got wind. You're what, 2-3 miles from me?
Jeez.

My dog is coming out of her skin! Really close thunder and I've seen 3 cloud to ground bolts!

I'm about a mile north of Pinnacle Peak Rd and about 1/2 mile west of Pima Rd.

I can't figure out how to paste the Wundermap that shows the huge red blob that was essentially erupting right over my house, but is now quickly moving south... :mad:

However, there appears to be more storms devloping up by Anthem that appear to be moving in our direction... ;)

The thunder started last night just after nine. Opened the front door to see if there was any rain and it was like a voice was saying, "Come outside and look at this!" Beautiful lightning show high in the sky to the south-east. Overhead were clouds and stars so bright they looked like torches. Winds coming in swoops across the desert. And the smell! Perfume.

I felt like I was the only person on Earth and she was showing me she's living and breathing. Incredible.

I blame our lack of storms on the economy. Everytime O went out of town last year, we got a 30 year storm. He hasn't left once this year and look where we are.

I was in Oklahoma last weekend and nothing happened here so I can't accept total responsibility for the nonsoon.

:D

Took some lightning shots, you can see more at my weather blog (which rocks!): http://www.haboobing.com/

Rained at my apartment at the 101 and Ray yesterday. I drove to work around 9:45 last night and there was rain on the 101 that I had trouble seeing the lane lines. But as soon as I got up to Elliot it was completely dry.

Looks like its moving in from the west. Can't remember the last time I have seen the summer monsoon storms rotate in from the NW. Hopefully we get some good rain though
