More Snow Melt

More storms on their way to Las Vegas

I have to admit that the rain is getting a little old. We've already had more rain in 2010 the in all 2009. It rained Saturday evening and there are two more storms on their way to Las Vegas. When I checked the weather report in one of my e-mail boxes, it said we could expect more rain on Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning. The second storm is supposed to arrive on Friday.

I looked out my living room window and I see clouds. I hear what sounds like thunder, but this is Las Vegas. Just because something sounds like thunder doesn't mean it is thunder. It could be anything from an explosion or construction noise to a fighter jet. If the jets are far enough away the echo sounds like thunder, especially on a cloudy day.

I'm not looking forward to driving in the rain, but I have to go to Henderson tomorrow afternoon. If it's raining I'm just going to have to suck it up and go. The problem is figuring out which street to take. I can take Interstate 95 to Henderson, the problem is the traffic on 95 at 2:00 in the afternoon. Of course, that may be the best route to take if it's raining. My other two choices are Boulder Highway and Eastern Avenue. Both those streets flood or used to flood when it rains. I don't know how well the flood control works on either one of them. Oh well, I'll decided tomorrow before I go.
