A strong monsoon thunderstorm came to Yuma a few days ago, the night of Thursday, September 4th. I had been tracking the storm cell for some reason, not giving it that much thought. It did finally arrive here. We got the real deal going. We lost electric power for a while and a lot of water was here. My little place got some water inside. It was not that much. We finally got the plumbing fixed today, so no more plugs. Everything is flowing smoothly again. Now, everything seems almost back to normal. This place can at least return to normal after a mega thunderstorm. Thank goodness.

All I can say is that I am happy to be where I am right now. The building is made of bricks. The roof is quite secure and does not leak. The electricity is good. There was a major power outage of course caused by something storm related and was all fixed by around 1 AM. The rain was awesome and powerful. In another location I am sure there would not be as much flooding or mud. Oh well. Everything is now moving forward once again.

This little place can take quite a beating and still survive. I am hoping though that I will not have to stay too much longer. Five years are coming up in February. I feel like that is what I have left here. I will see what happens as the new year approaches.

Monsoon summer rain is something I never experienced much before. It is real and does happen here. This time the storm missed Phoenix totally. We got a real monsoon storm and I am happy it came our way. We are cooling down here and can relax and enjoy the rest of the summertime now.
