Mother Nature was drunk last night

The El Paso, Las Cruces areas of Texas and New Mexico were threatened by a record three tornado warnings issued in the span of 5 hours yesterday afternoon and late evening. There was one confirmed tornado touchdown outside of a small New Mexico town north of Chaparral.



Lightning strikes were common last night, as were flooding on the west side of El Paso. I was on the phone with Evelyn and Yolie during the lightning storm, and was told by Yolie that she could hear the thunder claps thru the phone.

All is good now, the rain is gone, the roads are somewhat dry and the weather for today calls for weather similar to yesterday's downpour. The rain that fell on the east side of town was much less and much calmer than what fell on the west, and northeast sides of town, so lets see what happens today.

This should be interesting, voyeurs...
