to talk extreme weather. Oh, we had it yesterday down here. I'm in Chandler, Arizona, which is a Phoenix suburb on the southeast side. And we were the first ones to get it. Well, if you want to include the little ones. But the storm came from the south going to the north, which is kind of rare by the way. They usually come at a different angle. But anyway, the funny thing is the weather warnings go off on your phone. You know, like the emergency, emergency, everybody's phone goes off or whatever. And when I lived in the Seattle area, that warning never went off. Now that I live here, yeah, I've heard it a few times. It goes off to warn you of the dust storm primarily. And that's what made the national news yesterday. And I'm sure there were plenty of pictures, so I could post my own on the Internet. I have two kind of amazing short videos. One of them, my son Noah, my adult son Noah who lives with us, he goes, wow, it's getting dark. And I was like, yeah, it's getting dark. And next thing you know, our house just gets overcome by wind and dust and it's blasting around. Noah went out in the backyard. He said, I've got to go check this out for myself. I went, Noah, he went out. Five seconds later he came back in. He had a mouth full of dirt. I was like, yeah, don't do that. So I was going to say, so that was the first part. And I got some video of our house being hit by the wall of dust. It's called a haboob, by the way. Haboob, we get them down here typically before a major thunderstorm. And that's my next part. And then the monsoon came. And boy, it was, you know, picture a hurricane report when you see some news reporters standing out there getting battered around by wind. Yeah, it basically looks like that. Anyway, and I have some video of that too, of my whole backyard with all the trees swaying and rain blowing sideways and that stuff like that. And it lasts about 20 minutes of good, solid, crazy rain or whatever. And then it lightens up. And then it went for, and then we had regular, I told everybody else, then we had regular northwest rain for a couple of hours. You know, just regular, you know, northwest rain for a couple of hours. I was going to say, so that was the exciting thing yesterday. It was just a crazy weather phenomenon. Hang on, let it drop for a sec.
