So let's take a break from the activism for a bit and explore one of the other reasons for this blog's existence.
I've said it before. I'm a frustrated storm chaser. I'm fascinated by weather and storms and if I could afford it I'd have one of those home weather stations just so I could check barometric pressure and wind speed every 5 minutes.
Alas, I'm just an enthusiast with a smartphone and an old 1 Megapixel camera that eats batteries like a 5 year old eats fruit loops.
Below are some of my favorite examples of this year's Arizona Monsoon season. I actually got lucky in a few videos and caught some dramatic shots but truth be told this year's monsoon was more about wind than rain. In fact the meteorologists are saying we're actually down 2 inches this year having not broken 5 inches in total.
Some places got much more than that but those were isolated cases. In one storm event a part of the valley received 3 inches of rain in an hour. That doesn't sound like much if you're from the Midwest or deep South but here it translates into freeways underwater and cars floating around.
Of course I can't let this post end without mentioning that you can enjoy most of these videos Ad Free thanks to TWIT's abuse of YouTube's copyright system. The very same one that Leo's brain-dead zombie henchmen led by the #DarkTrollWitch have used to demonetize the entire channel till November....
Leo's on a boat for this year's vacation. I hope he doesn't get too seasick but Karma being what it is....
Anyway...
Try to enjoy these snippets of time from this year's Arizona Monsoon storms brought you courtesy of my crappy cameras and poor videography.
You might see something that surprises you!
Peace..
