Holy Crap! We went out for dinner on Friday night. Scottsdale @ Pinnacle peak was shut down. Had to drive thru 2 feet of water running across Scottsdale rd. A truck is a must around here.

I heard 6,000 CFS which is 1,000 CFS more than the release at Davis Dam at Laughlin. :eek: The Verde River was running at 17,000 CFS at one point Saturday!
Looks like we might get Bartlett back up.

Bartlett and Horseshoe really only need a few good storms to fill back up.
On Friday before the storms, Bartlett was at 41% with almost 49' of capacity remaining. Horseshoe was showing 0% with 74' of capacity remaining.
Today Bartlett is at 44% with just under 46' remaining until full. Up right at 3' and Horseshoe jumped up to 19% with 44.5' remaining.
That's alot of water!!! :jawdrop:

I remember once, when I lived in Phx, the wash along 11th St near Dunlap was so deep, and fast that some idiot that tried to cross it ended up floating down in his car. We managed to pull him out of the car at Sunnyslope Lane. He threw a hissy fit cause we didn't rescue his golf balls!

Yep... Pretty good storms this weekend. We got a good drenching as we moved everything into our new house:mad:
