Rain wouldn't be much of a topic for most of you, but here in the desert, it's news.

Last night we had one of the biggest, and heaviest summer rain storms Phoenix has had since I moved here. It certainly wasn't one of the most violent, but in terms of size for a summer storm here it was a big one. It's not often when I can watch the weather radar and see that it's raining hard at my house and at [livejournal.com profile] soulfulspike80's across town at the same time from the same storm cell. The same storm rained on [livejournal.com profile] masqthephslphr's parent's place, but it's so far away that area wasn't on screen in the radar picture as the leading edge of the storm was over my house. It probably wasn't raining quite as hard there then, but they'd had their share.

Most of the area got over an inch and a half of rain last night, which is only unusual in how widespread it was for this time of year.
