.270 Report post Posted July 11, 2011 all during the fire they were praying for rain. now that it's over they don't want it to. in my opinion, i hope it rains and rains hard and long and deep. be some run off, but it would be best to just get it over with and get back to healing up. i saw some of the aftermath this weekend. looks like some really hot fire. burnt to the dirt in a lotta places. rain fixes about everything in Az. might cause some problems, but the benefit outweigh them. let'r rain, Lark.

Red Rabbit Report post Posted July 11, 2011 Just a few sprinkles so far this morning here in Kachina. Will have to see what the day brings later on. I was thinking yesterday while at JD Dam that a nice runoff-causing rain would be nice to get. Those on the east side of the SF Peaks may need some help from potential flooding.

billrquimby Report post Posted July 11, 2011 It started raining here in Greer about 10 this morning, and it still is raining at 12:30 p.m. Most of it was a light but steady rain, but there was a hard downpour that lasted more than 45 minutes. Don't know how much we will get today, but we had a four-day period last week in which we got more than 3 inches. We're still holding our breath that a big flood down the east and west forks of the Little Colorado will not take out our bridges, but Lark is correct (as always). When all is said and done, rain is good. Firefighters backburned the east side of Highway 373 (the road into Greer) during the big fire and that 3 inches of rain caused all of the blackened area to "green up" in just a couple of days.
