I-19 to Nogales should be safe, right? Or am I supposed to cancel everything and stay home?

ASUHATER! · Post by **ASUHATER!** » Sat Jul 24, 2021 8:52 am

It isn't raining hard enough for i19 to be a worry

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Sat Jul 24, 2021 8:56 am

Thanks. That's what I thought.

The flood watch got extended through Monday now. Must just be because the rain didn't start until this morning.

I just installed this app for road alerts in AZ:

Is that okay? I used to live in The Springs (used to be the Hollows) in an apartment right on the banks of the Arcadia wash. I was glad to be on the second floor instead of the first.

In Illinois we had a wash that ran along our backyard and that was stressful.

Dry down by Yuma. As usual. Fuck.

Wow! There's definitely a power to it

The rain has been coming down extremely hard for the last 30 minutes. Definitely got about an inch.

Downed power lines down Duval Mines Rd and La Cañada in Green Valley.

Rain just stopped after being at least a drizzle to a full downpour for 8 hours straight

We are getting pounded again!

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Sun Jul 25, 2021 7:31 am

We have a roof leak coming through our ceiling into our kitchen.

Guess the landlord should have taken care of that roof coating they were getting bids on earlier a little quicker!

ASUHATER! · Post by **ASUHATER!** » Sun Jul 25, 2021 8:00 am

I haven't seen this much rain in a long time. If we get any more storms after today I might end up getting like 8+ inches of rain this month at my house

Some niece's friends went to Chiva Falls on dirt bikes.

There's some rain gauges up in the foothills by la Encantada that have recorded 6 inches of rain since Thursday

1.75 inches overnight at our place, bringing our 6-day total to 6.2 inches. One of our 20+ ft saguaros toppled over last night, missing the wife's car by 2 feet.

scumdevils86 · Post by **scumdevils86** » Sun Jul 25, 2021 1:08 pm

Stilllllllll raining.

Definitely the first time in my 35 years in Arizona that I remember the temperature not getting above 75 for a whole weekend.

67-74 at my house since Friday night.

Sunny and drizzling

There was a swift water rescue in the Rillito by Craycroft. 2 guys decided to kayak down it and got stuck in the rapids. Had to be airlifted out.

Waterfall above Skyline CC:

New rainfall totals since 6/30:

We are on pace for the wettest monsoon in history:

I wonder if they evade paying for their own rescue on a technicality, since it might not fit under the Stupid Motorist Law.

Up on Mt Lemmon today. Waterfalls and running streams everywhere...and kinda cold. In the low 60s.

Here's video before the rescue: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Weirdst ... 657900068/

One of them got swept further down but they saved him too. I wonder if they get the bill for that. Hopefully.

I also saw Rose Canyon Lake is up over 6 feet since last week and its now running over the spillway which is very rare. Mt Lemmon has gotten 14" so far.

Chicat · Post by **Chicat** » Mon Jul 26, 2021 2:55 pm

Definitely should bill any dipshit that tries to kayak any waterway in Arizona right now and needs to get their dumbasses rescued. It’s not the taxpayers’ job to rescue you from your own stupidity.

Mt Lemmon just got another 2" in 45 minutes. Sabino Creek flood advisory until 6:45, Im headed there now.

Airport got 1.19" today which puts them at a record of almost 7" in under 4 weeks

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Tue Jul 27, 2021 5:04 pm

We literally have 8 severe weather warnings and advisories right now.

Drove through a toad strangler on I-10 on the way home from work.

I’m on the NW side. It’s been coming down a flood.

I had to pull into a pub for safety reasons.

scumdevils86 · Post by **scumdevils86** » Tue Jul 27, 2021 5:46 pm

It dumped rain for 45 mins straight. Way more intense than any other storm so far for me. I wouldn't be surprised if it was at least another .75-1.25 inches. That'd put my house at about 5-6 inches of rain in 5 days.

I have no idea what a toad strangler is, but it reads like something I would read in a Stephen King book.

I had to go to bed with a Brazilian dancer for health reasons.

Sabino Creek was 4-5' deep and flowing strong. Still dark brown from the ash

Wentworth and TV Loop still closed. 2-3' of sand needs to be removed to get back to the pavement

Ventana Canyon just posted these highly edited photos on Sunday

ASUHATER! · Post by **ASUHATER!** » Wed Jul 28, 2021 12:08 pm

Those are edited but I don't think I've seen Tucson and the mountains as green as they currently are before

I was just talking to one of my eastside brothers on his way home from work, and he said it was lightning out and really coming down.

It actually petered out on the heat dome and didn't do much at my house

scumdevils86 · Post by **scumdevils86** » Thu Jul 29, 2021 7:57 pm

It has been jarring going from the driest 2 years I've ever seen to the wettest month ever in Tucson. My neighborhood after tonight has probably had over 9 inches of rain this month. It's rained like 23 of the 30 days in July so far. It's rained twice as much in July as it has in London. I'm almost getting used to constant rain
