There were flash flood warnings in the area yesterday afternoon, I grabbed the Nikon and kept watch for about a half-hour. It never did rain at my house which sucks, but it’s still nice to see some rain around as this is, after all, monsoon season. It’s a bit maddening to see so much rain dousting the east coast, hurricanes not included. Lake Mead sure needs every single drop of those rains, but gladly hurricanes don’t make it this far west!
Beautiful photos John
Thanks so much!!! ❤️
Flash floods can be scary. I remember the first one I saw in Tucson decades ago when I was in grad school. I couldn’t figure why some streets were dished instead of crowned, until I saw the wall of water coming down the street, trash cans being pushed ahead! That’s when I realized some streets were dry river beds.
Dang that’s scary!! Maybe they were built as a Wash too? Some washes here are built as Linear parks with paved walkways and wonderful landscaping.
Yes the one I saw was in fact, according to an old timer, originally a wash before the developer built up the area.
Oh cripes, that’s just not thinking properly! Redirect the wash, or move the village.
Great cloud activity. It’s a start.
Thanks, Anneli, the sky has darkened in the last hour, no flash flood alerts yet. I wish it would pour 55 gallon drums of rain!
A little bit at a time, of course.
How about the difference expressed in Litres then?? 😊
I still think better in gallons, even though liters have been forced on us long ago.
That’s a really interesting comment, Anneli. I have a few online friends in the UK. They too still prefer the English measurement system too. Gallons, never Litres, Pounds, never Euros. 🇨🇦🇬🇧🇺🇸
It’s whatever you grow up with, I think.
You still got some really nice shots! We are in a drought here on the east coast, yet we had a flash flood warning this afternoon that never materialized either. Crazy!
It’s been a nutty summer in terms of weather, and now there are two canes heading our way?
Bizarre!
Wow, these are beautiful images John! Really great dramatic skies!
Thank you so much, Sandra! 🥰
I looked and looked at these great photographs and thought I couldn’t photograph the sky in such a dramatic way. Perhaps, one day I will try and see what happen.
Thank you, Kaya! I am using an HDR application and one more for processing. I’ve never used those big dollar, and for me confusing software programs that so many people use.
