Jackpot!

We've been getting sprinkled on most of the day, but nothing terribly impressive. Tonight while we were laying with Brenna while she fell asleep (and Emily fell asleep, for that matter), I kept hearing rumbles of thunder, gradually getting louder. By the time I made it out of her bedroom and across to the other side of the house, it was pouring down rain, and did so for about twenty minutes. In the end we got over a third of an inch, enough to fill up one of my 30 gallon rain barrels, and part of another one.

We were apparently the lucky ones, this storm popped up just to the southwest of us, and only hit the Apache Junction area. I'll take it.
