So besides being balls-hot for 5 months out of the year, there are very few severe weather events in the desert areas of Arizona. Look forward to the winter, when AZ people smugly comment on the facebook posts of out-of-state friends stuck in blizzards and having roads closed. But then, sometimes, this happens.  That is a ton of rain from today. That is not a flooded river/stream/canal, that is an enormous amount of rain water that cannot drain fast enough.

"As of this morning, the rainfall at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport had reached 2.96 inches" So apparently the issue is Arizona just doesn't HAVE drains? We got 6 inches of rain over 2-3 hours in one day this summer. My basement flooded with 2 feet of water and it filled one of my window wells, shattering an egress window with the pressure. That was definitely a lot of rain. I don't understand how 3 inches of rain could do what is pictured above. Ragequit has a new favorite as of 18:46 on Sep 8, 2014 |

It was 5-6 inches in other areas of the valley. It's about twice the rain that they usually get over a day of big storms, and it all fell within a matter of hours. The soil here is different too. 6-24 inches under the topsoil is a hard, nearly impermeable layer of caliche, which behaves pretty much exactly like concrete. That does poor things to drainage.

Ragequit posted:"As of this morning, the rainfall at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport had reached 2.96 inches" It's the same reason the South shifts into apocalypse-mode when it snows. Some regions just don't have the infrastructure to handle once-in-a-great-while weather events. And apparently the rain in Arizona is once-in-a-100-years type of event. Plus, it's the loving desert. There's no basins,retention areas, rivers or lakes for all this water to go. It's all flat loving plains.

It's not plains, it's rocky hills and hard dirt. Unlike rainy regions, the ground can't absorb much water at all so it all rolls downhill, and I-10 is downhill. Valley of the Sun etc etc. e: and let's see your area get half it's annual rainfall total in three hours and come out grinning. carry on then has a new favorite as of 19:10 on Sep 8, 2014 |

Yeah, today was really fun. I think the Schadenfreude will be me when I get home and see how much damage there is. And no, there is no drainage system here that can handle 3" of rain over a few hours. Edit:  Here's another of the I-10 shot from what appears to be a camera from a 1st gen RAZR  Phanatic posted:Why? Why would you expect a city in the middle of a literal desert to install storm drains and retention basins and etc etc for rain events that only happen very rarely? It's like expecting Miami to prepare for snow.

Why would you expect a city in the middle of a literal desert to install storm drains and retention basins and etc etc for rain events that only happen very rarely? It's like expecting Miami to prepare for snow. The schaedenfreudest part of it is the people who inevitably decide to drive through feet of standing water. I lived in Phoenix for a few years, and there are a number of surface streets that pass below the highways. I don't just mean that there's a highway overpass, I mean the surface street literally has a dip where it goes down well below grade, you go down a hill and back up. So obviously those are places you don't want to be in a flash flood. Just as obviously, they're were a bunch of water accumulates and makes them impassable. And to drive the obviousness home, there are signs in front of them that say not to enter them when they're flooded. Example. But it never fails. Ever. Every single time there's a flood a bunch of hayseeds try to drive right on through. You can hear the dull impact of hydrolock echoing across the valley.
