I have to agree with this statement so far this summer as well...

El Nino:
Contribute to relatively dry summers, but when the rain comes, it will come all at once. It contributes to the formation of tropical storms and Pacific Hurricanes. This one is shaping up to be the biggest one every. The other two major El Nino events were in 1982 and 1997. Both caused major flooding and mudslides, but also recharged reservoirs to some degree. It is a blessing and a curse.
Here are the thermal images of the last 2 record-setting El Nino Events:
And here is 2015 as of June 30:

Yeah Phoenix temps get bad but that is ridiculous!
But it could be worse...

There is a storm outside.
And there is rain with it
Pouring in South Scottsdale. Lots of thunder, too.

So how would a self respecting member of the Valley react to rain?

Do we really need to say anything about tonight? Just wow.
Hey guys, I'm on a fishing expedition for some long-time Valley folks who want to talk about the monsoon. Specifically, I'm looking for anyone who thinks God hates their neighborhood and delivers all the summer rain to other parts of the Valley.
It's a myth, of course -- the idea of a super-dry vortex -- but I've seen tongue-in-cheek references in this very thread.
I'm hoping to get a story done this week or the next about "Why doesn't it rain in my neighborhood?" or something to that affect. We'll tackle the emotions of the Valley monsoon, and our obsession with relief from the heat.
Email me at [email protected] if you're interested. You could also PM me or, if you're lucky, shout at me on the street.

I was downtown for grad school and was on break when all of that hit. It was insane! Lights out everywhere, trees down and water everywhere. Good times!

The lightning show was amazing, I don't think I've ever seen that much lightning before.

West Valley was calm. I got a small storm the night before, dumped rain for like 3 minutes and was then gone but ripped stuff up in northern Buckeye (AKA Verrado)
Came into work today in South Scottsdale and our test area was completely destroyed. Chain link fence was a mangled mess. Our military grade tents were shredded up and moved 4 feet. These tents were staked down with 4 foot spikes into the asphalt and had over 100 sand bags around the perimeter holding it in place. These tents have made it through 9 years of monsoons and I have never seen anything like it. All of our equipment was tossed about like a tornado hit. CRAZY!!!!
