MONSOON SEASON

IT’S BEEN A WEIRD MONSOON SEASON HERE ON THE LOWER MOHAVE DESERT.  USUALLY THE SEASON RUNS FROM MEMORIAL DAY TO LABOR DAY AND PROVIDES THE DESERT WITH IT’S ANNUAL RAINFALL OF 3 – 4 INCHES.  THIS YEAR THERE WASN’T A DROP OF RAIN UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF AUGUST AND IT SEEMS TO BE COMING IN BUCKETS EVER SINCE.

I DON’T HAVE THE NUMBERS BUT THE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE FILLED THE WASHES SERERAL TIMES AND DONE A LOT OF DAMAGE TO PROPERTY AND ROADWAYS.  WHEN YOU’RE USED TO SUNSHINE EVERYDAY, IT CAN GET OLD QUICK….

OUR BOUNDRY CONE AS ANOTHER THUNDERSTROM ROLLS OVER THE BLACK MOUNTAINS FROM THE EAST.
