Friday, the clouds started moving in. This was around 6AM or 6:30AM. I was out there for a while waiting to see how the color in the clouds would change, because look at this! It was so pretty. That darker cloud reminded me of an alien invasion movie scene though. lol
Saturday Sunrise.
Then during Saturday the clouds started moving in later that day. It rained really hard all night and I slept through all of it. LOL
Sunday morning. Lots of clouds and it rained on and off all day. The weather people kept saying that the remnants of hurricane Rachel was going to bring thunderstorms and heavy rain over the weekend and into Monday and it did.
My courtyard flooded overnight on Saturday. The water was ankle deep in the alley.
You see that line on the wall? That's how high the water got overnight Saturday night and into Sunday morning. It was at least a foot high.
That smaller block wall in front of the gate is the wall I showed in the last picture. The water was rushing both down on the bottom near the sidewalk and on top where the fence in part is.
You can see the path all that water took down that little hill and onto the sidewalk and street. It displaced some of the rocks and sent them onto the sidewalk and into the street.
*Yep, that's my Clown Motel apartment building in the background.*
One of the nearly dead trees across the street fell over in the wind Saturday night.
It was darn near dead and probably should have been removed.
There were a lot of clouds Sunday, Monday and Tuesday but no more rain. This was Sunday night's sunset.
Monday, lots of clouds but no rain.
People in Las Vegas were sharing this. lol
Nice shots! I love the glowering clouds 🌧️
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteGood pictures. I guess getting that much rain is unusual in your area. I'd think it would have flooded those tunnels where you've said the homeless people sometimes hang out.
ReplyDeleteWe get about 5 inches a year. So to get 2 inches in some parts in one night was crazy.
DeleteYes, the tunnels got flooded.
That line on the wall shows how high it got, a foot of water is a lot for a courtyard. Funny that you slept through all of it and then woke up to an ankle-deep alley. At least the tree that came down was the nearly dead one. Hope the clean-up isn’t too bad.

it was a lot of water.
DeleteWhen you get a lot of rain in a short amount of time, few places can handle that. Least you slept through it.
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe I slept through it.
Deletethat wall photo of water height is crazy! We have had rain from the hurricane on the east coast, lots of rain and hot weather, I'm ready for the colder weather once again.
ReplyDeleteI'm ready for cold weather too.
DeleteWow you must have gotten two years worth of rain in one storm! As long as your apartment inside stayed high and dry cuz that was awfully close to you.
ReplyDeleteAlmost. We got more rain in one night than all of this year so far.
DeleteThat was a lot of rain for you guys! My BFF was in the eye of Hurricane Isaiah last weekend as they were on vacation in the Florida panhandle. That rain has made it up here, but it's been fairly mild. Glad you survived, Mary!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteYou are a sound sleeper, hahahaha!
ReplyDeletelmao I guess so.
DeleteGlad you survived!
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteIt's amazing how far inland a hurricane's rain and winds can have an impact.
ReplyDeleteIt really is.
DeleteGlad to hear that Rachel was not such a big biyach! LOL
ReplyDeletelmao
DeleteOh wow, you got some good rain!
ReplyDeleteMore rain in one night than all of this year so far.
DeleteThose are amazing photos and I'm glad you're sprinkle safe. LOL!
ReplyDeleteLOL Thank you.
DeleteWonderful series of photos, dear Mary! We had some heavy rain here in Montreal yesterday and some areas were flooded. I am glad that you are safe, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I hope you didn't get flooded.
DeleteGreat photos. Good to hear you were safe.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeletePraying you're OK.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I'm good, thank you.
DeleteGreat sky and clouds shot. Glad you weathered out the heavy rain.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteGlad you are all safe.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI had heard on the news that some parts of Las Vegas flooded and thought of you. I witnessed a tree come down earlier this year and it's scary. Glad you are safe. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteit was a lot of rain in some areas.
DeleteThe photographs of the clouds are great ... but rain, storms and hurricanes aren't!
ReplyDeletePleased you are safe.
All the best Jan
Thank you.
DeleteI have to agree with Jan. Beautiful clouds but the hurricane not fun.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Just one night of rain isn't so bad.
DeleteGreat pics!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWow, the water got high. Very moody clouds.
ReplyDeleteIt got really high.
DeleteThe pictures tell the story vividly.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteSuch beautiful skies there and colours. The aftermath could have been worse, but still a bit of mess. Take care, Mary.
ReplyDeleteIt could have been a lot worse.
DeleteSo pretty
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThere is that old saying: It never rains but it pours.
ReplyDeleteThat's true.
DeleteHurricanes are frightening!
ReplyDeleteWe just got the one night of rain from it.
DeleteWow, some serious flooding. No flood damage in any of the apartments I hope.
ReplyDeleteNo, the apartment stayed dry.
DeleteWhenever I hear of a hurricane it fills me with dread. Flooding is always scary. Glad you're okay.
ReplyDeleteThank you. We don't get many hurricanes here.
DeleteThat wall photo really shows how intense the storm was. A foot of water in the courtyard is scary, but I’m glad you stayed safe and dry. The skies were beautiful even with all the chaos.
ReplyDeleteThere was a lot of water.
DeleteWe're seeing a bit of rain this week. I think it's the tail end of the Florida hurricane reaching us now.
ReplyDeleteHopefully there won't be much rain.
DeleteOh goodness! That water got high! We had some heavy rainfall this week. It wasn't too bad at the house, but there were places in town that got flooded pretty badly.
ReplyDeleteYeah, same here. Other places in Vegas got it a lot worse than I did.
DeleteWow that rain came down fast. Fantastic pictures.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. A lot of rain in a short amount of time.
