January 24, 2010

As I mentioned in my previous blog post, Massive January 2010 Storm in Arizona – Tornado Warning and a Downed Cactus, we’ve had some nasty storms here this past week. The storms dumped quite a bit of snow at my grandmother’s house, which is about a 25-30 minute drive from my house. Yesterday, my parents, [...]
