life is a storm, my young friend...

"you will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. what makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. you must look into that storm and shout as you did in rome. do your worst, for i will do mine! then the fates will know you as we know you: as albert mondego, the man!

welp, that was a tangent. i kinda had to keep going with the count of monte cristo quote though. haha... anyway. 

we've had more of the nonsoons than the monsoons this summer. and really we haven't gotten that many awesome storms, but this one tops the charts! it was super awesome! our street was flooded side to side, the back yard was flooded, the pool even filled up, and then within half an hour it was gone. just like that. it was fantastic!

here's proof of it's sheer awesomeness....


 do you see that?! you cant hardly even see the 
back wall! that's pretty neat!

the rain was coming in all types of crazy. 
that section of the wall never got more wet than that... 
but do you see all the water pooling?!

At first I was thinking, "when was that storm because we didn't get any rain." But then I saw my kid. So must that must have been the storm that took me a full hour to get to your house because all the streets were flooded?!? Because that really was a KILLER storm! Definitely a favorite in years!
