Facebook site and saw that Sols Wash (a major feed into the Hassayampa River) had flooded Vulture Mine Road, about a mile from our little house.

It&#8217;s quite a sight when that happens and usually causes erosion along the front of our landscape.<\/p>\n<p>The forecast is for more thunderstorms tonight and through Monday. We&#8217;re battened down here and expect to be safe.
