Fish Creek -- otherwise untouched by fire -- might be destroyed by runoff from that kind of rainfall.

Yes, according to the HAZ map, it's rained somewhere between orange much and red much, surrounded by a lot of yellow much.

@friendofThundergod Yes. A lot.

How the area recovers... if it starts to come back in a few years... rather than a few decades... will depend on what happens to the soil/ash.

Flash flood warning in the Superstitions. Today and tomorrow might cause more damage there than the entire month it was on fire.

Grizzly fight! (And a wolf just watching it from down the road).

The current run of weather models result in an 11.5% chance of no measurable rain in Phoenix from now through Wednesday next week. I'm starting to think that this percentage will increase.

I'd worry more about meth :o users and drunk drivers living in the Rimrock area than i would javalinas and snakes. I haver lived here for many many years, it went from a nice quiet place to meth maker and land developers wet dream come true. You say you will be living at Montezumas well? Ranger? If...

Can we really count on widespread 1-2" rain totals from a forecast this far out, and as uncertain as tropical systems typically produce in Arizona? (I was hoping for more, but I think that historical tropical systems drop higher amounts of rain in pretty limited areas.) It will be interesting to see...

I think its roots are perhaps an Alaska "thing"?

Kayaking on I-10 has historically been the result of the remnants of tropical systems moving into Arizona. Kayaking is fun.

@Alston_Neal I find it sad that the venerable Toyota brand--home of the very capable off-road Land Cruiser, FJ, Taco, and 4Runner--also creates the antithesis of those. But alas, Prius-rated is a universally-understood term. (Likely more for what it says about the driver than the vehicle itself, bu...

East-side (A-S) Rim Road has been graded and resurfaced in recent weeks (still ongoing between 115 and the CNF boundary). Mostly just graded with a new gravel top layer, but the section from near Promontory Point to west of the power lines, the roadbed has been excavated, and it has received the add...

Forest Service reveals how the Museum Fire started! It was their own forest-thinning contractor! While not negligent, it was human caused, and lay dormant for 14 hours after the initial spark. the human-caused wildfire originated in a steep slope environment associated with critical restoration wor...

@rcorfman
Alabama. It was hit much harder than anticipated.

@azlaurie
Better chances on Sunday for increased moisture and wet packing.

The weather has never been so exciting!

@DixieFlyer I'm the wrong person to ask. I recommend contacting the NPS directly. Another page on their website states (my emphasis): Any group, regardless of size , which has advertised to the general public, required individuals to sign up prior to participation, or that has an organizer who has ...

@sidhayes Yes. Who is required to obtain a permit: Any organized, non-commercial or not-for-profit group conducting rim-to-rim and extended day hiking and running, including rim-to-river-to-rim, and rim-to-rim-to-rim that are operating in the inner canyon.

Wasn't it supposed to rain the past couple of days?
Probably shifted over and hit Alabama instead.
