Brace yourself!
If the last 45 minutes here are any indication about what’s going to happen in Santa Fe/Eldorado/Galisteo later on, then I suggest you guys in those locales start bracing yourself! At 1:30pm I wanted to take the dogs for a walk. There were some massive clouds in the North West and I wanted to get back home before the rain would start. Dog No. 2, Max, has some serious issues with thunder and lightning. To my surprise he did not even want to go for a walk. Just a few minutes from the house, he turns around and runs back to the house with his tail between his legs. So, Frisco and I went on a short loop without him (he was waiting in the garage when we returned).
About 5 mins after we returned the flood gates opened and we received an extremely generous helping of rain. For 20 mins it poured like crazy with a few short hail sequences. Water was (and still is) shooting from the canales. There’s a little river in the back of my house.
