I went to see The Warning tonight at the NM State Fair. The Warning is a rock group made of three sisters from Monterrey, Mexico. Dani: guitar and vocals. Paulina: drums and vocals. Alejandra: bass guitar and vocals. The concert was excellent.
Rio Grande at 5:30 a.m. this morning running about 4 feet higher than the night before.
We got a major thunderstorm at midnight last night that dumped almost 3/4 of an inch of rain. When I got up, the rain gauge showed double the amount of rain from when I went to bed. We now have 1.43 inches of rain for the month. I did another five-mile walk in the rain again this morning.

The Rio Grande at 7:00 a.m. this morning up another 2 or more feet from 5:30 a.m.
The place where I stepped down to take the 5:30 a.m. photo was under water at 7:00 a.m.
Jake met me at the gate and got a short ride to my parking spot when I got home this afternoon.

The river had gone down about 4 feet by dusk. The place I step down to take photos was no longer underwater, but too muddy to step on, unless you’re a dog.
Water was still flow the full width of the river at dusk.
The Rio Grande had more water in it at 5:30 a.m. this morning
I walked my five miles in the rain again this morning. The rain gauge showed 0.61 inches of rain when I left, and 0.70 inches when I got back. It stopped raining as I finished my walk, and the rain gauge still shows 0.70 tonight. I thought the rain coming in from the west would make it to us, but it stopped short of delivering any rain tonight. We got some decent light shots while watching and waiting to see if the storm would rain on us.

Laurie’s first lightning shot
Although we didn’t get rain from the storm, I got some lightning photos out of it.
I walked five miles in the rain this morning. I didn’t see another soul. Even the parking area near my turn-around point was empty this morning. There are usually one or two cars parked there when I walk by around 6:15 a.m. I was the only fool out walking in the dark, in the rain. We have now received 0.51 inches of rain this month.
