What a freaking letdown. Only good part was the lower temps.
There was nothing going on here so I went to Walgreens to return a movie at Redbox. It was taken away this week. So I went to Frys, it was out of order. Then I head over to Safeway and all hell broke loose. I parked at the curb right in front of their entrance because is was starting to rain hard and the wind was blowing like heck. It was maybe 15 feet from my truck to the entrance and I got completely soaked. The automatic doors stayed open and the rain was blowing in the store. I returned the movie and the entire front of the store was flooded as the door was still open. The gift cards on the rack were blown all over the store. It was crazy. I ran back to my truck, got more drenched and waited until the rain and wind slowed down as I could not see where I was going. Crazy.
It's freaking El Niño here in Albuquerque. Been raining pretty much for 2 days straight. Probably 2 inches today alone... crazy. Haven't seen it do this here in years.
Excuse me, but you need to start a "Official New Mexico Weather Thread"
Well, I thought about that, but I've been on the board since day one and have only started, oh maybe 10 threads. They've all died a quick ugly death, so I didn't want to add another one to that pitiful list.
Yep. About two minutes before that hit I'd gone outside and saw a LOT of lightning to the south. It was calm...no wind or rain. Came inside and WHAM. There was also hail for a few minutes.
SWEET BABY JESUS it's raining!!!
