I need to quite thinking about buying a digital camera and just buy one. It would have come in usefull twice now. A couple of months ago the salt ceder trees along the Rio Grande River started on fire, causing the whole sky to light up. It would have made a great picture if I had a digital camera. Now this week there has been a lot of rain, with dry arroyos filling with water, lots of water. I went to one near campus and I could hear boulders crashing off each other and off the road, and the water had dropped several feet by that point. I was able to get a couple of pictures for other people so you can get an idea of what it is like. It dumped again Sunday night, causing even more flooding, but by morning the water levels had dropped again.

This is a picture my friend Jana took on Saterday evening. This is a flood contral dam above Socorro. It is usually a dry sandy area, but after the rain it was full. Nobody can remember this much water here before.
One of Jana's friends took this picture in box canyon (above Socorro) They somehow cought the beginning of the flash flood. You Can see how hard it is raining in this picture as well.
