storm 2006

This past weekend's weather was intense and even deadly.

Do you remember that one summer El Paso experienced a major flood that drowned parts of the city?

I fondly remember my single days when my friends and I would pay a visit to the good old Stampede.

Our annual monsoon season arrived right on time the summer of '06, making things got hot and muggy. Then the rains came. And they wouldn't stop...

It was supposed to be like any other KLAQ BBQ.  But ..... Hurricane Katrina had ravaged the gulf area and, with a nod to Zeppelin and The Tragically Hip, the levees had broken and New Orleans was (literally) sinking.  That storm also pushed smaller storms with LOTS of rain as far inland as El Paso. That's where the trouble started.
