I've seen the rain in Phoenix from a distance. I think it was end of July, 1987. There was a thunderstorm raging over part of the city but not where I was (Scottsdale). It was fun to watch the lightning. What amazed me was traffic screeching to a halt on the highway at the first hint of rain. Apparently there's a risk of crossing a flood channel.
