Vehicle traverse a flooded Tatum Blvd. north of Pinncle Peak Road Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2014, in Phoenix. The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for much of the Phoenixtro area and north of the city where up to 8 inches of rain fell by midday in some of the mountainous regions along the interstate.

I was born in Phoenix and in growing up there, I don't remember it ever being this bad. The climate is definitely changing. I wonder what other aspects of the climate will change, what will happen to the environment, and what those changes will be.

Only every year when the Monsoons come through does it flood.

2012

It has been happening every year since Jesus was in grade school.

Uhm. Can the climate change spin BS be any more transparent?
I've lived in Arizona all my life and this happens every year--just not in the same place every year. Different parts of the state get hit worse than others with each passing year. One side of town can experience torrential flooding and the other side can be bone dry.
Makes me wonder if the writer has ever lived here at all...

Despite this flooding, and other similar flooding happening in many other areas I wonder where all that water is going into, because as I showed on a recent thread most of the aquifers all around the U.S. are at well below the average. So where is this water going to? I know how groundwater and aquifers work, but in most of those areas where flooding has occurred the water can stay in many of these areas for days and weeks and is slowly absorbed into the layers of Earth until they supposedly arrive at aquifers where they reach impermeable, confining, layers. Yet our aquifers don't seem to be refilling as they should. If this trend continues we are in deep $#1t. (pardon my French) Flooding is obviously bad, and I feel for all those people who are affected by it, yet it is a lot worse to have no potable water and that's were we are going to within 10 years if we don't find out what the heck is going on down there.

I just moved to Tucson about year ago so this is my first monsoon season. We have rivers that control the water that are dry the rest of the year I think there're called wash outs. But you still hear of flash flooding and such. I think the people in Phoenix are glad its raining a lot. Its been a bad couple years for the monsoon from what I hear. They probably are not glad about the damage and danger but I was almost cutler shocked when I moved here from Chicago. People are happy and get excited about the rain here, When it rained in Chicago it was just a crappy day and you couldn't do anything outside. But it's been kind of a mediocre monsoon here in Tucson From what people tell me it should storm just about every day in a good monsoon season but its been off and on here. Hope every one is ok there.
