It’s been really hot and really humid out here in Lost Wages, NV lately - the monsoon season is here. You really notice just how much it cools off when a passing thunderstorm shades everything and drops much needed water. I’ve liked thunderstorms for many years, but didn’t get to see them much in San Diego. Things are different out here in Las Vegas and I get to see quite a few thunderstorms during the monsoons.
Yesterday as I was driving home from work I noticed that it was raining a few miles up the 95 freeway and decided to just follow the road.

Getting closer…
After living in 100+ degree temps with overnight lows in the 80s and 90s for a while, 78 degrees feels COLD !!!
Just a short ways up from here, the water had flowed over the roadway and carried half the desert with it!
This just looked too cool so I had to take a picture of it. Mind you, this is not easy at 70MPH even with the cruise on
