Hurricanes, Murphy's Law and Back Day

We were all set to get the remnants of Hurricane Odile here in Tucson. Weather forecasts were showing up to 9 inches of rain falling in the area in a 24 hour period. In preparation, we moved vehicles away from the wash, weatherproofed all of the facilities and even filled fifteen five-gallon jugs of water for drinking should there be a problem with the municipal supply.

In the end, we got a little bit of rain but certainly not the deluge that we expected. The storm swept south and east of Tucson and we remained relatively dry. But, just like Murphy's Law states, if we had not prepared ourselves you KNOW we would have gotten crushed by the storm!

Today's quote is from Captain Edward A. Murphy:

"If there is any way to do it wrong, he'll find it."
