I think you need to set up a paypal account and we should get multiple rain guages set up throughout the valley and ASFN could write them off as a special monsoon study experiment thing.
That's awesome
I went to bed early last night and I'm glad I did.
Checking my yard this morning tells me I didn't get anything last night.
I would have been very disappointed.

My wife is officially a Phoenician. She used to laugh at me in previous summers when I'd get excited about the weather. Last night she had radar pulled up on her laptop and went bonkers when the storm hit. Well, I did, too. The wind knocked our sliding glass door to the patio over. We also watched a lawn chair get launched. We were getting so many microbursts one after the other, and I would guess those downdrafts were hitting us at about 70+ MPH ... I was getting knocked off my feet trying to get the patio door back on its track. Gee, if you find a blue web-structure type lawn chair, please send me a PM. (I'm near Superstition Springs Mall, but that chair was launched!)
Anyway, my Arizona room was flooded and my backyard looks like the wetlands today. A lot of standing water. I'm trying to move it around today onto the rocks so we don't end up with a mosquito farm. I don't know how much rain other people got, but we were absolutely soaked. It rained in sheets off and on for about 3 hours. I had everything turned off, so I didn't get to play with y'all last night. Looks like it was fun!

of all the types of rain it could have been it was the type of rain that leaves brown marks on your car because of the dust! I need to just not wash my car for a few months

I hope it doesn't rain where I am camping this weekend. And I most certainly hope there isn't any thunder and lightning like last night. I will freak.

Looks like we have a really good shot at more storms tonight. Forecast has it as Thunderstorms Likely (60%) and then this comment in the area discussion.
...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH STRONG GUSTY DAMAGING WINDS ARE POSSIBLE IN SOUTH-CENTRAL ESPECIALLY IN THE DESERT AREAS INCLUDING THE GREATER PHOENIX AREA WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN TONIGHT...

Ya I was suprised to see the NWS be that specific, but hey they're scientists, so they must know something.

Are the Cardinals playing on the eastside on Sundays anymore?
Careful dude... Claiming the Cards make a "side" better is a pretty tough arguement to win...

I will give you that. The stadium is on the west side of town because the people of Mesa are just too stupid to know what is good for them.
This is kinda a sore point for me.

Naw, win or lose, but mostly lose, I dont have to go to the other side of the Valeey to see my favorite team play.. And its in the best stadium in the NFL..
