Monsoon Season

It is officially monsoon season here in Phoenix which means that on top of the 115 F temps we also have huge wind and dust storms along with thunder storms that bring flash flood conditions. Unfortunately the lightning also causes fires in the area. It is amazing, though, to watch the lightning and see the dust roll in. It also results in great sunsets after the dust storms. These storms cause many accidents due to lack of visibility while driving so it is best to stay off of the roads if you can. Here are a few pictures from here in Phoenix during the Monsoon this season.

Ryan! Hey Man. It's great to see your blog. It's a nice one and a good way to keep in touch. It looks like you are settling in nicely. Your sis looks great in the previous shots! Hope you are doing well. We enjoyed our time in Fiji and had a successful mission trip.
