One Inch!

Until Wednesday, Southern Nevada had a whopping one inch of rain recorded so far this year. One inch! I know it's the desert but wow. It rained all day yesterday. I woke up to traffic reports that included one car slammed into a wall and two others flipped upside down on the interstates. I thought people in Atlanta couldn't drive in the rain but people in Las Vegas really can't drive in the rain! On the way to work, there were big pools of water on the interstate and surface streets were badly flooded in areas. At work, there was water leaking through the 2nd floor ceiling and it's a 3 story building. Since it rains so infrequently, it seems that they don't even bother to fix the leaks. One person at work said her four year old has probably only seen rain 2 or 3 times in his life that he can remember. We now have 1.35 inches of rain recorded for the year. So I used my windshield wipers yesterday and I guess I won't need those again for a long time.
