Yes, it sure is! Albuquerque's got a lot more than we have, but we've still got quite a bit. I was in ABQ for two days and was out running around Monday evening when the storm hit. That was some of the worst lightening I've ever seen. Every time one hit, I jumped. LOL! I was waiting in the car in the parking lot for it to let up so I could go into the store and I had to wait about 30 minutes before it let up enough. Did you see that house that was hit by lightening? That was terrible. It almost popped the water heater.
I haven't heard about that house, I live in Las Cruces, and get the El Paso news....but we have been getting good rain, El Paso's streets flooded, they were freaking out, but I don't think it was as bad as Alamogordo was when it flooded.
Here in the Phoenix area on Tuesday we got lighting that didn't seem to stop for like 30 minutes. I live here most of my life and don't remember lighting being that crazy. We got a good soaking that night and Friday morning. I don't think we have hit 100 since Tuesday, except for the heat index factor.
We went straight from drought to flood here. I've spent the last 2 months cleaning up my property from a wildfire and hundred year flood.
