Monsoon Storms in Tucson Arizona

It doesn't rain much here... but when it does, IT POURS! It is hard to show how powerfull these storms are without actually being there. Unfortunaltly there are a lot of accidents, but I still love these storms.

This was actually a light storm. And yes it is true,,there can be aramgedon on one side of the road in a sheet wall of water and then bone dry 100 feet away. Its so weird here.

I lived in some apts on Speedway Blvd, near the intersections of Alvernon and Swan. I had a great view of Mt. Lemmon and come every monsoon season, I couldn't see the mountain because of the heavy rains! And it smelled great afterwards! I miss it sooo much!!

Miss you Tucson!

For people in arizona down in phoenix and tucson they freak out over rain because they never have rain, I lived in phoenix and a person was it rained hard last night, I was like hard rain? That was just a mist...If a storm like back east rolled over tucson or phoenix the national guard would have to come. They would think the world was gonna come to an end....
