We had what I guess was our first major monsoon dust storm here in the Phoenix Metro area. Had a chance to take some pics before a very quick shower came through. Bruce, did you get "dusted"?
![]() The view from my deck. Bruce lives over towards the left, but not in those houses you see in the distance. ![]() ![]() Getting thicker, now you can barely see the foothills. ![]() More dust whipping up in the distance. Never had a dust storm here where I live. ![]() A storm was heading down from Lake Pleasant. We got a very quick shower here where I live, then it was done. This place intrigues me!

Rick,
That's called welcome to Arizona.I seen pics where the sky is black with dust and it's a gritty type of dust so keep the garage door closed as much as you can.My brother lives in Peoria also and my folks in the Tucson area,so what do you guys out there do when dusting off your cars with out scratching your paint?? |

Not a problem on the storm warning Rick! During this time of year we monitor the weather web page pretty closely. You will get some awesome storm shots for sure (like your dust storm shots).
Yes, we got the dust...and a ton of wind...and maybe 4 rain drops...LOL Rich, the best thing is to keep your car cover on your car in the garage...and seal up the garage as best you can. Dust will still get in the engine compartment anyways [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

That could be the same storm that came off the ocean by my house a couple of days ago and rained for about 15 minutes then went east. The lightning set off a few fires in the Riverside area that they are still fighting.

No dust storm yesterday in my neck of the Valley....around 10:30 last night it rained about 20 drops, had a few claps of thunder and a bunch of lightning, and that was it [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Nothing where I was in South Phoenix either. Just looked bad. Typical monsoon season. Unnecessary humidity with little rain. Oh well. Beats the winter. I'm glad I'm back.

Yep, I'm finally here. While I can't say the weather has been pleasant, I do prefer it to the bitter cold and rain I've had to endure recently. As long as it drops below 107 and the humidity is low, I'm good to go. haha.
Looking forward to the Pavillions, and better yet, actually getting to work on my cars finally. |

Welcome aboard Tom. Full time Phoenician? There are some hard core (usually retired) nuts who make the weekly sojourn to the Pavillions and bake their brains during the summer. You'll see most of the folks start to come back to the Pavillions in late September. C U 'round!
P.S. whereabouts do you hang your hat?
