A Vegas Rain Storm

Ever since we got here we have heard that the rain storms can be very powerful and usually the city will flood at least once a year.  We have not experienced until last Monday.  Usually the rain falls down by the strip and by the time it gets to us there isn't much left.  Well on Monday it was a different story.  All of a sudden the sky got grey and about an half hour later the heavens opened like I have never seen before.  The rain came in sideways due to the wind.  It was super crazy.  The view from the front of our house was the best but this a video from the back.  The even more crazy thing is that an hour after the storm ended everything was dry in the back yard again!  You gotta love the desert.

BRIAN AND I HAD SUCH A STORM WHEN WE WERE IN VEGAS BEFORE YOUR WEDDING. YOU ARE QUITE RIGHT. IT IS AMAZING THE WAY THE RAIN JUST COMES DOWN, DOWN, DOWN SO FAST AND HARD AND THEN STOPS AND DRIES OUT. HECK, WE WOULD BE IN MUD UP TO OUR PITS FOR A WEEK OUT HERE. OF COURSE, THE BOYS WOULD LOVE THAT.
