LOL! So true!

gemini.... Im in Yuma. are you in AZ too?

as to Merryg's comment about Monsoon season here, If ya'll have never experianced it, it ranges from 1-3 drops, to flash flood in 5.3 seconds there is NO inbetween! LOL

I'm a transplant to Las Vegas after 17 yrs in Phx...I miss
the Monsoon season..4:00 p.m.--winds pick up and blow like
crazy, then rain...if you're in the right part of town...
I find I even miss the humidity..crazy huh??...here you
just bake like being in an oven!!! LOL!!!

lol my son was the same way, now that hes 11 he wants to go play in them! ( sand storms ) he loves it when the wind is that high and gives him the "smooth criminal" move as he calls it, ( the leaning with feet firmly planted ).
I know what you mean about the Live coverage. we did get one bad storm here about 89 and everyone was loving it! I dont think you will ever hear one Az'n say that they hate the rain! if they do, then they have either been through a tragic flood somewhere, or they just dont like to get wet.

You know what really gets us laughing - - is the few times it does rain - the news reporters are out in the streets doing "LIVE STORM COVERAGE". C'mon - - - a steady sprinkle hardly calls for "LIVE STORM COVERAGE"!! They will show water runoff that is barely touching curbside and say the streets are flooding!! It's so funny to those of us who have been through heavier rains than this!!! I will say that I had never experienced dust storms till I moved here! My 4 year old gets scared if we are out in one. He thinks we will blow away!!!

Yep. After real floods & tornados it seems funny to see the waether copters out chasing a few rain drops, LOL!
