W00t!
We had a huge rainstorm here yesterday. Well, huge for Pahrump, anyway. It rained for probably 24 hours straight, varying between a light drizzle and 'Hey, who's throwing water ballons!' There was some lightning and thunder, but the rain was the main attraction. This town isn't really built to handle rain like that, so there were a lot of minorly flooded roads and such, but I don't think we had any flash floods, or at least not any where people were likely to encounter them. My workplace certainly isn't built for rain like that- there were buckets out all over the place catching leaks from the roof, the door into the bowling alley leaked a big puddle into the building, and the outdoor employee area was pretty much entirely flooded out, thanks to the roof drain emptying that way. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem, since our 'rainstorms' usually just get a drizzle off of the roof, but yesterday, the drains were gushing like waterfalls. Highly entertaining.

Thus far, we are easing into an actual fall, which is not the norm either. Almost as soon as it hit September, the temperatures dropped and we started getting some overcast days. It's been really, really nice, especially after a summer with a record streak of days over 100. Well, in Vegas anyway. We might have snuck a couple of 99s in there.
