For the past several days the weather has been somewhat cooler than those 108, 109, and 110 (and over) temperatures that you hear about on TV. Every day for the past several days they have been predicting rain that never comes. So just when we take for granted that they are once again wrong, we check the clouds to the South and discover that a wall of dust known as a HABOOB is about to hit. Sometimes the dust gets so thick that you can't even see across the street. Tonight though the HABOOB only lasted about 20 minutes and then came the rains with full force.
We have a little river running in both streets by our house. We have no storm drains to speak of except for the little drainage ditch a couple of blocks from our house. The streets will dry out very quickly but tomorrow you will be able to see the "little lakes" in the desert areas and they will probably stay for several days.

Above was to the North and was taken at the same time as the one to the South.
