A Total Drenching

The helmet (right hip) tells me this guy is a hang glider

Yesterday afternoon a cloud burst open right over our house and the rain came down in a deluge, creating a serious leak in our patio enclosure.  So, for the fifth or sixth time I will have to try to seal the seam where the patio roof abuts against the back porch overhang--or finally break down and have a professional do the job.  If you want an idea of how the rain was flowing during the storm, check out this video from the Las Cruces Sun-News website; it's of the arroyo Becca and I drive over every day to get to Tortugas Mountain.  It's the first video below the story:  http://www.lcsun-news.com/las_cruces-news/ci_26583671/weather-most-part-las-cruces-has-been-spared

Clouds and high humidity still hanging around

In the foothills

In the lowlands

Air hazy with humidity

Heading back into the foothills
