[O]

I want to say yes, but i was wrong earlier

Yeah, you were.
Unfortunately it takes so much energy to break through to where I am.
The storms usually quit first.

Although I just walked outside and I have a good minor haboob going on.

More to come.

The radar says it's almost right on top of me, yet I've got nothing,

EVerything is right on top of me and I mean everything,

I live down the street from you. That was some storm!

Today was supposed to be the day I started coming to work an hour earlier, but I decided to wait a day since I was up between 2:30 and 3:30.

Do you have a rain gauge? Because that's A LOT of rain

Also, you're welcome, I sent the storms your way.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

I got a total of .35 inches last night...not great, but not horrible.

 

[Hollywood]

anyone know if we are going to get any rain today or tomorrow. Specifically in Chandler.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

There is a chance of thunderstorms this week, but knowing when and where is practically impossible.

 

[abomb]

Apparently Anthem got hit pretty hard last night, but I slept through it.

No rain gague, two or three inches may have been a little exagerated, but I'm thinking an inch plus.
My yard looked like I had just taken irrigation. It was a very healthy storm.

I understand. Jenna can talk for me all she wants too.

Looks like stuff building up out of nowhere in the NE valley...I can also see a big thunderhead building up over maybe north Mesa or Scottsdale from here.

Okay, I was a bit of on that...now that it is appearing on the radar, it's like barely east of Arizona Ave and south of the US 60.

I just have to say...nature is amazing sometimes.

Out of nowhere this huge cell just builds up. I can look north and see clear skies around it, but just this one monstrous cloud builds straight up. And then the lightning starts inside the cloud, lighting the whole thing up. And I can even hear the slight rumbles from it after awhile.

There is just something spooky about a cloud silently developing and being seen from a distance...and at night.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

Why do these storms develop so late at night when I need to sleep!!?!?!?!?

I see them building up to the SE now...ugh ugh..

 

[Hollywood]

I hope I closed all the windows at work.

I paid the cost today for last nights storm.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

A little while ago I went outside and there was lightning off in the distance, near the 60 and AZ Ave. A few minutes later there is a huge cloud covering the sky and it rained pretty steady for about 10 minutes. Now - nothing.

You've got to love Az weather.
