Hurricane Rosa

Arizona is a dry state; there is no "coastline".  And yet, today I was informed at work that we're beginning preparations for Hurricane Rosa.  It's expected to make landfall sometime Monday. 

Fox news says:  "Tropical storm, tropical depression characteristics are moving into Arizona and bringing in heavy rain, as well as the threat of flooding.  We've seen it 16 times since 1950. And now heading into the weekend, we're tracking Hurricane Rosa currently churning in the east Pacific."

Only 16 times in the past 65+ years.  Yikes!

I have no idea what that'll mean here for us.  We're not equipped to handle large amounts of rain.  Growing up in the Bay Area, we have waterways leading to the Bay to drain off excessive water.  Since we don't have a coastline, I guess we just wait for it to soak down into the aquifer. 

If we get that much rain, my backyard will accumulate a load of water.  I'll have to pull up my rugs and move my lawn furniture under cover.

This will certainly be a new experience for me! 

When I lived in Ohio, if a snowstorm was predicted,
people ran to the stores and bought up all the milk, eggs and bread. 
Is that what they'll do here?? 

Should I????
I'll keep ya'll posted!
