During the night it began to rain heavy and has continued to rain throughout the day. It is predicted that 2 inches of rain will fall today; if so, that coupled with the rain that had already fallen this week will be over half of the total rainfall(4.54inches/year) for the year in this area. There has also been spells of heavy winds. Last night we awoke hearing the winds blowing our window awnings. So Tom got out of bed and went outside to put the awnings up.
This morning we went to the grocery store to restock our food supply. At that time it was sprinkling rain but this afternoon the skies blackened and then it just poured. In this weather there isn't much to do except stay inside and wait for it to pass. There are some things we would like to do in this area, like a boat ride on Lake Havasu, but certainly not in this weather. We are going to stay here for another week so hopefully next week it will clear up and we will be able to do somethings outside.
