:thumbup: Nice long, steady rain.

It doesn't seem possible, but the two closest rain gauges to us recorded between .60-.75 inches of rain. It sure seemed like more than that.

Highest total so far for last night/this morning 1.57 inches of rain at Fitch Park near University and Center in Mesa.

It went on and off for several hours, at times very heavy and winds really gusty -- an informal old rain gauge I still use had it at 1" exactly this morning.

Lots of rain with lightning/thunder at Dynamite and Scottsdale Rd for the last 30 min. Guesstimate maybe half an inch already. Temporary lull right now, but looks like another round of storms is to the southeast and may head this way a little later.

The Vortex!
The storm coming from the north broke up before it hit the heart of the vortex.
I have hope I will get something from the east or the south before it's all said and done.

Thunder! Lightning! Water in the wash behind my house.

Rain? Not enough to clean my windshield. Vortex.

Best part was seeing it coming from the East. With the setting sun already in the Western sky, it was pouring rain in broad daylight. :thumbup:
