A lot of you saw on the news that we had some weather action over here in the desert on Monday. Here is a look at my yard and house after the heavy rain and hail storm.
Isn't that soil supposed to be in the flower bed? My flowers were looking SO good before the hail storm and flood. Mark had used some special fertilizer from the farm and they were so pretty. Oh well we will try again next year.
Luckily we did not get any water in our basement, but our driveway is destroyed. The asphalt is washed away in places and rock from the hill above us is scattered everywhere in the driveway. It literally looks like craters of the moon in my driveway. It is so uneven and the remaining asphalt looks like a lava flow. I guess we will be replacing our driveway this year :( (Notice my new vehicle in the driveway next to the 'ol Alero. We sold the pickup I used to drive and got a Nissan Pathfinder!)
The "new" river bed in my driveway. You can see where it tore away the asphalt from the retaining wall.
We ended up with a big sink hole where the water was pouring off of the hill.

I am SO glad I got to see your flowers. Let's see, how many floods have you been involved in?
glad you guys survived and with only outside-your-house damage. those floods can be pretty wicked sometimes!
CRAZY! I hope your yard can recover quickly, I like your new car, looks nice!
Holy cow that's crazy! I'm glad your basement didn't flood but I'm sorry about your driveway!
Oh no! I'm glad that mess didn't get into your basement. But your new car is nice! The pics of the Relay for Life were great to see - thanks for keeping us all updated
