I saw a big shaft of rain to the North of
me and knew it was a bad one.

Very little rain here in Vail, but that's the
way the Monsoon goes. One of my
neighbors measured a total of 11.25" from
the storm a couple of weeks ago.

Andrada, East of Calle Rinconado is gone.
The El Cheapo Asphalt Road they put in
to sell houses just disintegrated.

A large section of Wentworth got lifted up
by the water and deposited across the
road..

Just a matter of time to get my turn.

73, Dick, W1KSZ
