Poor Mouthing

As is typically the case on the 4th of July, we had some storms roll through the valley today. This thunderhead you see pictured here got to within 20 miles of the house and broke into a million pieces. I know better than to get my hopes up when I see these things forming on the horizon, because nine times out of ten they don't come over our house. It's just the nature of the monsoon.

Last night we had a line of storms heading right for us from the north that veered off and missed us to the west. South Phoenix had about an inch of rain, so good for them. Nature of the monsoon.

Here's a shot of the monsoon rolling in from the north at sunset. I was in the right place at the right time.

A thunderhead off to the southwest. We were surrounded, but no rain.
