We had a great storm come through and it rained and was cloudy for a good week. It was one the top 5 storms in AZ history. With lots of rain there was lots of flooding. Our back yard was flooded
And all the washes (retention areas) were full. This picture was taken after the water had gone down a few feet. The night before the rocks next to the slope down were covered and water was running into the "lake" The kids were so excited and also worried that their school was going to flood! Their school field which is at least 5 feet lower than the building was full and ready to overflow. Chad had to explain to them that the ground is grated for the water to flow away from the school and that it was more likely to flow out the other side into the park before it would go toward the buildings.
