[AZ-Observing] Re: Rain

 
I wonder how many of you were around in February of 1978, There it rained  
good and hard. The streets were so badly flooded out you could take a canoe 
down 
 59th Ave, The Salt River was flowing very strong on the order of 225,000 CU 
ft  per minute for a week and the flow continued for a couple of month's at a  
much reduced rate. The only way to the East Valley was across the Tempe  
bridge. The I 10 freeway bridge was closed the bridge at Scottsdale was  
partially 
washed away. If you really wanted to see some water where the Aqua  Fria and 
New River comes together it was like wow! Never seen such a seething  caldron 
of water it was very violent. Somewhere around here I have  pictures

OK, I  give up.
Maybe it's time to sell the telescopes and buy a row  boat.  Looks like 
another week of RAIN. If it ever clears it will take  another 6 weeks to dry 
out, 
so those of you who do not own a dew shield can  observe. I guess it's time to 
find another hobby that is not weather  dependent.  I'm not sure if it's my 
age or the weather, but I can't  remember the last time I had a good night of 
observing. If we ever get back to  Sentinel, be sure to bring your weed wacker 
cause you are going to need  it.

OK I feel better now, guess I will watch the NASCAR  race, if it's not rained 
out today.
