Anybody else in this wind storm? We just lost power near downtown Phoenix. Apparently its snowing at Snowbowl and there are gnar storms headed our way.

 

Getting It in Mesa rn but still have power at work

 

Yeah totally fucked in downtown Phoenix area.

 

So much for the hope of my canopy lasting until I move.

 

Dislike

 

I’m about to light up the grill and smoke some chops to celebrate the storm.

 

Edit: Yup, confirmed snow. Looked like hail from my end.

 

Yeah, calm in NW Peoria now, but was dodging overwatered mesquites on Cactus as I was headed home. I had to go outside to take a look at work, was sitting at my desk and heard the overhead doors rattling in the wind - that's always a good indicator to go outside and look. Product of a mis-spent youth. Grew up in the Midwest, when the tornado sirens were going off, my dad would haul us all out to the porch swing to watch the storm. Always said we would die due to a brick flying to the back of the head. Yep, was outside watching the storm cells over Grand Island, NE in 1980.

 

My daughters just texted, 3am estimated power back on

 

Our power came back on in time to watch MNF.

 

Got a bit of rain here in Show low but no snow..... Still hanging out around 65 degrees.

 

Confirmed tornado up north near Williams yesterday.

Out here where I’m at we had a power pole break at the base and the lines are holding it up lol

 

Damn! Thats gotta be ultra rare in Arizona.

 

There have been 3 since I moved to the valley area in 2014

 

Yup figure. Got a bunch of water alarms I have to deal with that way. Once my work truck is out of the shop.

 

Have rain in the forcast everyday this week but no snow. Water in the gas? Which stations so I know to avoid them right now.

 

No. No water in gas. If that were to happen. The fuel controller shuts down. Plus I only install water sensing filters that clog up shut when water flows through.
Its water in sumps and other containment areas.

 

oh ok cool. Its happened up here at safeway once and speedway aswell where water was mixed with the gas and fucked a few people's vehicles up to the point of new motors needing to be installed. But I believe they fuel was contaminated before even being put into the ground tanks.

 

Nah was probably a bad cap and seal and they didnt get the water out. Speedway, I'd..I'd stay away. They dont use water sensing filters, and just generally they dont like to spend money to properly fix stuff.
Maverik, Circle K are safe bets in Show Low.

 

I love that Maverick between show low and snowflake
