Be weather aware as Arizona gears up for the summer monsoon season!

Arizona's monsoon season kicks off on 15 June and continues through 30 Sept. (National Weather Service). These photos of the August 2014 flooding, and post-flood, of Galloway Wash, Cave Creek, Arizona, illustrates the ferocity of flash floods that may accompany a monsoon rainstorm.
If you encounter flood waters, remember "Turn around, don't drown". Thanks to geologist and educator Tom McGuire for contributing these images.

For all you sleepyheads out there that may have missed it... a spaceship was over Flagstaff this morning.
