Watching the Weather

We've been watching the weather reports on the news on as they report on the "Pineapple Express" that has been hitting the West Coast the past day or so. "A moisture-laden warm air flow" that has come direct from Hawaii is the way they've been describing it. It's dumped a great deal of rain on California with terrific winds all the way up the coast to Washington (where the waves have washed away cliffs and houses).

The Sierra Nevada Mountains have pretty much kept the storm on the west side of drought stricken California. So far, there hasn't been much evidence of carry-over into Arizona, but they are predicting rain for tomorrow.

What we have gotten however, is just enough cloud cover to cool the air a bit (it was only 76 degrees today) and provide for beautiful sunsets. This is the reflected view looking towards the east -
