Rain, Rainbows and Not Much Wind Today

We survived all that nasty weather last night with everything in tact here, mostly due to pre planning!
We kept the slides in, had some sand infiltrate through the windows, but finally the rain calmed the blowing dust and that helped. We had wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and more I'm sure. At times I thought we were goin' over! Many here were chasing patio furniture and trash cans. I walked around back to check things out early this morning, and sunk down through the rock! Lots of vehicles made big deep ruts just backing out of their spots. DH got in and put it in 4wd and drove right out in the street with no ruts!
Lots of street flooding both inside the park here and on the way out to the freeway, and the back way to Casa Grande.
DH took me in to the gym this morning, and then we picked up some fruit and came home. I didn't sleep very sound last night, fearing more wind and storms.
We were even in a Tornado Watch. Once this afternoon it hailed with the rain. Many tales of damage and destruction up Phoenix way. A little boy was swept away in flood waters.
The house frau spent most of the day yesterday on DH's lap. She's conked out on the couch now wearing her new Pink Camo Hoodie. She's a pretty good girl. We were both nervous last night. Needless to say, we're not doing anything fun....just hanging out watching a lot of tv.
