A pity storm Norbert couldn't have brought its precip farther west than it did. Palm Springs and surroundings got some inches, and fast. This county... busy layers of strato-cumulus, and that was about it. Local whiffs of drizzle; we could smell where it had sprinkled.

Arizona really can't be said to "suffer" when it rains, nor even when it floods. Flash flooding is how southern Arizonans know there's been a proper rain, which may amount to half a given year's precip anyway.

Atlantic storm season just had its statistical peak week, too. Been a very quiet season.
