Last Tuesday night we had such a downpour and lightning storm that my courtyard flooded. The rain came down so hard for a while and the wind was crazy. My daughter took a little video.
The next day, Wednesday it was really cloudy and over cast but we only got a little rain that day.
It also rained on Thursday and we had these spectacular clouds giving us some shade from the sun.
What a beautiful sight! This must be the only time I wish we could get a little of your weather up here.
ReplyDeleteI love the cloudy days.
DeleteThat was quite a storm. The cool air would have been welcome, but I am sure the humidity the next day was not.
ReplyDeleteHi, Mary!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the video and pictures. Last night here in Florida, we got hit with a ferocious storm like the one you guys experienced. The lightning kept striking near the house, sending our black cat Boots running for the safety of the closet laundry basket. Now we have large puddles all over the property. I'm happy to know you got some temporary relief from the searing heat. Hopefully the heavy rain washed away some of Sin City's sin. :)
Enjoy the rest of your week, dear friend Mary!
In glad you got some rain too. Sorry to hear it scared your cat.
DeleteDesert rainstorms are the coolest!
ReplyDeleteThey absolutely are.
DeleteI'd heard Vegas had some flooding. The "monsoons" of late summer always brought a freshness to the air (but made hiking canyons dangerous).
ReplyDeleteYeah, it really came down for a while
DeleteCloudy skies look ominous, but the result - rain- is life giving.
ReplyDeleteI do love the rain. We don't get much of out.
DeleteI like to watch lightning as long as its not too close. And yay for some rain! :)
ReplyDeleteI do too.
DeleteHave you been having drought conditions? If so this was a bit of help. 💦
ReplyDeleteI love storm clouds, too, they have their own unique beauty. Thanks for sharing your images. 🌫
Us, we don't get a lot of rain so its always nice to some.
DeleteNice clouds ☁️
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI'm glad the floods didn' hit you as bad as it did downtown.
ReplyDeleteI am too.
DeleteHoly! That's quite the storm lol!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, that lightning was something else.
DeleteFor Vegas, that is fabulous that you got three days of cloud cover and rain. That lightning storm was neat. Just had one tonight, but not as much lightning as you got.
ReplyDeleteI can only hope or rains a little more this well.
DeleteThey're great!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteOooh I do love a good storm but it sucks that your courtyard flooded... is it all dried out now?
ReplyDeleteYeah it dried out over night.
DeleteDark cloud days are my favorite days. I hope your courtyard is back to normal by now though!
ReplyDeleteit dried out over night.
DeleteMy husband talked to his aunt in LV and she was so happy to see that rain.
ReplyDeleteYeah, everyone here was glad to see it.
