It can always get worse

Gathering up over the Chiricahuas and Cave Creek Canyon
 I've said many times "it can always get worse", yesterday was one of those times.
A gathering of storm clouds early in the morning over the watershed for Portal and a drenching rain brought a flash flood down the canyon. While there were no casualties, the power unleashed got everyone's attention!
I made a trip out on the valley floor for some photos of the other side and found the video of the flood on line. With the tropical storm sitting out in the Gulf and the monsoons in full swing, things could get very interesting depending which way the tropical storm decides to travel. while I know my Texas friends don't want a hurricane , sure would be nice to see that storm weaken and bring some rain to those 3 million acres that burned not long ago. Might be we'll all get lucky! Stay tuned,

Peloncillo's in the lee of the storm

Sun has to be out somewhere, Peloncillo's just past Apache.
