Well, after the prolonged drought that southeast Arizona and much of the southwest have been suffering through, it was a welcome relief to experience the first rains of the 2011 monsoon season. \u00a0The rain came rolling in to my neighborhood around 3 AM on June 30th. \u00a0Hopefully, there will be much more in the coming weeks to help revive desiccated habitats and put an end to the fire danger. \u00a0I also hope that it falls in such a way as to minimize post-fire flooding in areas damaged by recent burns. \u00a0Below is a radar image of the storm as it passed through Tucson, along with an mp3 of the storm as it departed. \u00a0Enjoy!
