Imminent Downpour

This image shows a wall of water pouring out of some expanding and rapidly approaching thunderstorms. These came complete with downburst winds and plenty of lightning strikes. Monsoon 2014 has turned out to be a wet one, at least at my location in northwest Phoenix. This storm dumped 0.69 inches of rain in about 30 minutes. For the first time in several years, my rain gauge is actually capturing a normal or slightly above normal amount of summertime rainfall. Hooray for that!
