Jamál (Beauty), 18 Kamál (Perfection), 170 BE – Sunday,
August 18, 2013 about 3:30 PM Pacific Daylight Time
I watched as the day darkened. Clouds moved in from the west
slowly covering the blue afternoon sky. I turned on the television and switched
to the Weather Channel. I listened to the flash flood warning, not sure, where
it was raining. I knew that, besides Las Vegas ,
the warning covered the Carpenter 1 burn area, which was somewhere around Mount Charleston
Since it was not raining in my neighborhood, I decided to
take some newspapers to the garage. After putting the newspapers in the white
recyclable bin, I stood looking at the sky. There was a patch of blue over the
eastern mountains, but to the west dark clouds covered the entire sky. I went
back into the house to get some more recyclable for the red container.
I was not in the house for more then five or ten minutes;
however, when I got back outside the patch of blue to the east has shrunk. I
came back into the house because I wanted to write this entry. I checked the
thermostat because before I took the papers out, the thermostat read 85
degrees. In the short time it took me, to take the recyclables to the garage
the temperature inside had dropped two degrees. I could now turn on the
computer and write this entry.
As I look outside, I can see that the clouds have moved
farther east. I do not know if it is going to rain in this neighborhood, but
that is possible. Therefore, I will post this now before I hear thunder or see
lighting. I am glad I am not on Mount
Charleston Las Vegas to be when there is a Flash Flood
warning is in your house or hotel room.
