A Good Soaking

We received a good soaking yesterday afternoon from a monsoon storm that came through.

It also rained overnight, which also helps with our dry conditions. The deck was still wet.

We had a nice lightning display since the cell was directly overhead. More will be coming today and tomorrow (we hope).

Hopefully, the storm made its way up into Colorado to assist the firefighters with several big wildfires.
