I am pretty sure it looks like it's developing a line from Chandler all the way up through Apache Junction and may further north...

I think most of the Valley is getting something out of this thing...

Don't get my hopes up here Mike.
And please don't tell me El Mirage is going to get something.

Yeah, it's building up big time over town....good luck all! You should all get good storms!

Mine lasted only about 20 minutes, but it was worth it :)

Fast moving buggers tonight.

Central and Camelback.


I can see everything off to the southeast.
The best barometer I have is my dog.
At this point he will not go out in the yard with me. That is a good sign that something is about to happen.

I work on Central and Osborn...

I think you'll get something

I don't know.
The wind is just starting to pick up. I can still see the lightning off in the distance.
My dog has now moved to his storm home position, which is under the coffee table.
That is a good sign that a storm is coming.
I do feel the temperature dropping too,
If my dog heads for the bathtub I'll know it's on.

Nice!
That's my thing right now.
I really want to get a great lightning shot.
It's really hard to anticipate with just a digital camera.
