Sunday night, July 14, we had a typical summer monsoon. It was quite unexpected and not forecasted until late in the afternoon. The wind started to pick up and then suddenly....."thar she blows". A number of us summer dwellers grabbed our cameras phones and had fun trying to capture some photos.
Don and "our boys" were stationed at the kitchen window to watch the action.
We took a quick video. Watch closely as the debris blows down the street. It is sweeping up all the palm "snow" and knocking down a lot of the brown bark from the palms. This morning at 5:45 I already saw our landscape crew out picking up the bark and probably surveying for any wind damage. It really wasn't much of a storm so I doubt there's any damage anywhere.
Avis Gray usually gets some good photos as the storms approach as she is located over on the south east side where most storms come from.
Another viewer sent this one. Photo came via text so I don't have a name to give credit.
When we use the term "monsoon" storm, you would think it would mean some rain as well. It rained but hardly got the street wet. Just enough to turn all this dust into clinging mud. <sigh>

Today marks two weeks post surgery for my knee. Now it should finally start feeling better. Thank goodness Scooter is here to keep me entertained. We watch TV together.
and if he can manage to open a cupboard or drawer, he helps by cleaning it out. 😒
