We have been saying for days that this was such a mild Monsoon season. We didn't have any microbursts that caused damage. As usual we spoke too soon! This is the aftermath of a wild storm that went through this last Thursday. It was truly wild. The lightning was so thick it looked like a lazer light show. There wasn't even any break in the thunder, just a constant rumbling. It really was cool but with the 79-100 mph winds going through downtown, damage to the new rail line kept Jay busy: support beam broken on the rail wires, stations with missing levelors, etc. It was a real mess downtown on Friday and 50,000 people were without power for most of Friday. The local news showed rows of power poles laying out on the ground in some parts of Phoenix. That is bad with our heat. Makes me thankful for underground electrical used where we are.
