Some weather prognosticators are calling for the largest storms of the season this weekend. There will likely be more than a couple water rescues conducted in flooded washes. Job security for public safety!

Lots of vehicle rescues all across AZ. Burn scars make it way worse.
Thanks @Old rooster .
That's correct Bob, Flagstaff is seeing that this year due to the forest fires.
Here it doesn't take much to flood the city, especially right now, the ground is so saturated that any rain that comes down just flows down to the city and neighborhoods.
Last week we had a microburst hit the neighborhood, I found my trash cans 7 houses down the street, several trees were pulled out for the ground.
It's Monsoon season, and we need all the water we can get.

We have had some very heavy localized showers. It seems to like to come in fast and dump a ton of water fast.

Yep, monsoon is in full swing. Nothing new really. We've been having flash floods like this since 70's. Just more media sensationalism. We continue to build which removes raw land for rain absorption. However, watching the storm blow in is awesome!
Bring on the rain please. The Catalinas are looking awfully green this morning. Archery deer is opening, good rains so far, Dove season opens in 2 weeks, fall is just around the corner, life is good!

Yeah my yard out front was a small lake, But my house is built up from grade so I should be okay, However many folks with basements around here weren't so lucky, The good thing is, We pull together around here and help one another!

When I lived in Tucson, everytime it rained, someone would drive into the downtown undrepass under the rail line. It was clearly marked with the depth of the water, and people would drive in even when it was 6 feet deep. i used to ford the river at Catalina State Park to go javelina hunting. Once guy got caught in a flash flood and tied himself to the roof of his pickup. They sent rescue divers for him, because he was so hypothermic he couldn't help them.
