We are in Northern AZ at about 3500' elevation. We've experience 2 major storms this past couple of weeks. Downpour, dumping incredible amounts of water and causing road damage. Luckily, the storms only lasted a couple hours. Although, Lightning struck my neighbors property and fried his electronics: TV, DVR, ham radio, etc.!
We have been here 4 years now and desert weather is extreme weather. Doesn't matter if it's wind, rain, heat, or cold... The desert gets the extreme brunt of each season. At least, it sure seems that way to me.
But, on a happy note, our vegetable garden bed is thriving! I'm only 3 years into gardening of any kind, so it's still pretty exciting to me to watch the plant cycle.
