I remember the El Nino or Ninya, whatever from about 1980. It was a 200 yr. flood. Not kidding, it rained every night, right on que. Roads got washed away. A bridge almost got washed away. They built a higher bridge afterwards. So far this yhear's snow is lame compared to last year. Maybe we get a small atmospheric river. There probably are different sizes.
You have to use the scientific description to show how smart you are.
Only ordinary people say rain storm even though it's more accurate.
Mesa, AZ! A lot of people don't realize what a danger flooding is in the desert.

Its a little known fact that more people drown in a desert than die of thirst!
Arabic version: "Never walk in The Wadi"!
Tex-mex version:"Don't dawdle in the arroyo". same difference
And as Elbert Hubbard said, "For such people, Destiny waits around the corner with a shoed club."Quote:
