Watch a crow go surfing. Pretty cool!

Who knew Al Gore was still around?

While the usual Thanksgiving week storm snarls lots of folks travel plans, here in the Valley of the Sun it’s back to warm and dr after last weekend’s historic storm. This from the National Weather Service in Phoenix:

At Sky Harbor Airport, 2.43” of rain fell through the weekend, and the National Weather Service in Phoenix summed up the record weekend this way:

“This storm system broke daily rainfall records and nearly monthly records in the process. The 1.60 inches of rain recorded at Phoenix Sky Harbor airport on November 22nd was a record for the day, and the second most for any day ever in the month of November in Phoenix. More remarkably, this one day total was also the 22nd most ever for any day of the year in the recorded weather history for Phoenix (since 1895). Yuma also set a daily record rainfall amount on November 21st eclipsing a long standing record from 1884.”

“As mentioned above, one of the more remarkable parts of this weather system was the extended nature of the rainfall. Over the 3-day period from the evening of November 21st through November 23rd, 2.42 inches of rain was recorded at Phoenix Sky Harbor airport. This ranks as the second wettest storm for the month of November in Phoenix weather history. These 3 days alone places this year as the seventh wettest November on record. And to further emphasize how uncommon this storm system has been, Phoenix has not seen a storm with this amount of rainfall since March 5-7, 2000, or over 13 years ago.”

My sister-in-law has seven buckets in her living room to prove it!

Did anyone out there see this coming? I sure didn’t! 🙂 The ObamaCare rollout fiasco ought to make for some fun talk around the Thanksgiving Day table. But that’s what you get when an uninformed electorate meets a presidential candidate who ran a lousy campaign. Looking back a year ago, one wonders why the Romney campaign didn’t shove Obama’s lies right down his throat one after another during the debates. The one thing liberals can’t debate is when you expose their lies and provide the data to back it up.
