The local weather has provided us with much needed rainfall, but not without some flooding in certain areas. We have been OK here in our domicile, but some have had minor flooding in town, with some more major incidents throughout the state. The normally-dry Hassayampa River (clickable image) had running water on Wednesday when Damsel took this photo.
We’re high and dry here and the rain storms are expected to subside into our regular sunny fall weather after this coming weekend. So, we expect to be OK for the Thanksgiving holiday next week. Our retirement itinerary has us shopping tomorrow (Thursday 11/20/25) and stocking up on groceries such that we won’t need to shop during Thanksgiving week.
We’ll post about our Thanksgiving Holiday next week.
It’s been really dry here this year. And no snow on/before Halloween, and maybe none for Thanksgiving. There’s a big storm bearing down on us, but the storm track is still not well defined. Wait and see…..
We’re always dry which is pretty normal and we had some minimal monsoons late summer. However, the first Pacific North storms that have managed to work their way down here are bringing much needed rain to the desert.
We always watch the weather here, not only for us, but for the entire country and indeed the planet. It doesn’t hurt to have thoughts and prayers for those local and elsewhere.
