First flood on 2010 monsoon season

We wanted RAIN and got it tonight -- along with a MAJOR flood roaring down our wash right behind our house. The wash ends at the one entrance to our yard. All that water floods onto our road so we are basically stranded until the water recedes. The pictures don't do it justice because you can't hear the rushing water. Pic on the top is taken from our carport. The others are viewed from the front porch.

Notice the high water "waves" running down Old Pomerene Ward behind the car in our yard.

Don't know how much of our gravel yard Riley spread around will be left thanks to our mini-lake in our yard. We have to wait until tomorrow to access the damage.
