The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VI.. Stop In!!!

[ezdays]

Well, I'll be darned, but it's RAINING outside right now. It's been a good four months since we've seen even a trace of rain. We were watching the news yesterday and they were talking about tracking a dust storm, but no mention of rain behind this storm even if it was in the forecast. About 90% of these dust storms come up from Tucson right up I-10 and into the Phoenix area from the southeast. Some, like the one yesterday had no mention of rain. We don't even know if the dust storm reached us, but we woke up this morning to rain, lightning and thunder. One thing I was please, aside from the rain, was that the weather reporter didn't use the term "haboob" to describe what for over 100 years, we called "dust storms". Someone got the bright idea that since they have haboobs over in Africa, that we should too, so a few years ago the US Weather Service went along with that. I guess I'm too old fashioned and set in my ways, but I'll never get use to us being in our "monsoon season" or having "haboobs" rather than just plain old dust storms.
