We also have 'perfectamundo' today. Equal crystal blue sky with temperature around 18c but as with Ruth it gets cold at night. No, no, not Ruth gets cold at night.....oh please yourself! Lol

Which is correct Ruth? Perfectomundo or Perfectamundo guess it doesn't matter much as it's slang, but interesting what you learn on POE eh?

Oh, to keep this thread on track rain is forecast for tomorrow!

Today as I type this (12:35 PM Saturday) it's really lovely outside about 85° with low humidity and not a cloud in the sky.  But our storm on Tuesday last was a doozey.  We did not get a tornado, as they did just west of Flagstaff, but that tornado completely destroyed 15 homes and snapped 60 ft. ponderosa pines across a 100-yard swath like they were matchsticks.  Flagstaff's about 125 miles from here.

Our problem here was hail.  It pounded down in almost every part of the Phoenix metro area.  Mind you, that's an area about 50 miles long and 50 miles wide.  Every car parked in the parking lot at my friend's office was totaled.  It looked like sombody took a hammer to them.   I had about 2" of rain at my house, and considering our annual rainfall is about 7", that's a lot at one time.

No significant damage at my house though, thank God.  I spent the morning outside cleaning up broken limbs, leaves and the "just add water" weeds that always poke out of the desert landscaping in the front yard, but that was it.  It was really scary driving home from work during the storm.  It was raining so hard you couldn't see a thing.

Yesterday, when I should have been cleaning up, I was laying in my pool.  The water is just borderline still warm enough to get into.  I"m going to try it again this afternoon.  It would have been warmer, but the cover blew off in the storm and hail has a way of cooling down water.
