Down Pour -- January 21st

It rained almost all night! Sometimes gently, but most of the time it just plain poured!

It cleared off this morning for a few hours. It was amazing to see most of the puddles disappear! The sun peeped out a bit and we were able to gather in the tent for the Alpine Coach Association Annual Meeting.

And then it clouded up again this afternoon and by four it started to POUR! It seemed sometimes like bucketfuls of water were being thrown at Auntie Violet's windshield.

The ACA club had a hamburger and hot dog feed this evening with a brave crew grilling under the edge of the tent. It was so windy and raining so hard that everyone took their meals back to their coaches to eat. We heard later (after the tent blew down...) that there were tornado warnings out for Quartzite and Tucson.

Tom's generator quit working this afternoon, so after several attempts to get it working, they ended up heading back into town where they could get plugged into electricity. Hopefully they will be able to get the generator fixed.

This is supposed to be the last of the storms coming from California -- the weekend is supposed to be gorgeous. We shall see...
