The huge detention basin has almost dried up about two weeks or more since the last huge monsoon storm hit the valley. The basin did it’s job well.

I find it so fascinating that you can see so many different terrains where you live. The blue skies are always gorgeous. Glad the monsoon effects didn’t last long.
Hi Shelley! Me too, there was enough flood damage and rocks all over the roads too. There are still a few areas that have big gaps where the rain washed everything away. This was the largest and most damaging monsoon storm I’ve seen in my ten years here.

This is normal here it seems, you just roll with it. 😂

Quite a contrast. I much prefer the natural landscape! Gorgeous skies!
