Storm Clouds

After getting a few items at Walmart in Gallup, I headed back home and noticed in the distance that storm clouds were pouring rain over the mesas and the vicinity of Continental Divide.

Getting closer to home, I did get a few large drops of rain. It appears that the forecast was accurate about isolated thunderstorms. Well, we are now in monsoon season (as of last Saturday).

Once I was done putting away my purchases, I took a little stroll outside and storm clouds are still around us. I heard some thunder while walking around. I am surprised that the refinery hadn't sounded their lightning alert. They usually do whenever lightning is within 10 miles from the refinery.

It would be nice to get some rain in the area. We can certainly use it.

I was planning to do some riding, but it looks like that plan has to be scrubbed.
