Yesterday's Storm and The Weekend

The McKinley County Office of Emergency Management posted this yesterday afternoon:

It was a good thing that Larry Lucier and I got back to Jamestown when we did from Gallup.

We had a little bit of rain while we were at Grandpa's Grill having breakfast with friends of Larry's. We got back to Jamestown at around 1:30.

Later that afternoon, a storm rolled in and we got a big light show of lightning. It lasted a few hours and pummeled the area with rain. There was a tornado watch in effect. We both thought that we may have a snowy winter this year if the precipitation continues like it has over the next few months. 

It is going to be relatively dry today, but we may be getting more rain this weekend starting tomorrow.
