Day 8

So you remember yesterday's storm pictures? Well this is the aftermath on a street that runs behind my neighborhood. The road was washed away in several sections you will see...



This is a common sign all over Tucson, when we have the monsoon storms we get flash flooding and huge puddles in the streets because the water comes down so fast the drainage system can't keep up... we even have a stupid law for people who ignore signs and try to drive through these floods... of course they get stuck and need rescuing... some have even died!
My daughter just had to get a picture of this poor chair... I had to go home and count mine... yes the storm was that wild!



They brought in loads of sand to cover the areas where the road just washed away.

This police car was actually passing the fire engine but it looked like they were blocking the road!
Now mind you this water is sitting here over 24 hours since the storm passed!
