One of the washes up on Mt. Lemmon Short Rd lets loose after four days of rain and dumps mud and rocks all ever the place. This is Snyder Rd near Soldier Trail

Even after two days without rain, the wash is still flowing.

The wash diverted right through th corral and deposited huge rocks and a bunch of debris in there. Luckily the horses were in their stalls when the flooding happened.

The stalls flooded with mud also.

The stalls had to be dug out to get the horses out.

This area used to be full of trees and cacti and screened them from the neighbors driveway. Now it's wide open.

The mud and water even made it up to the house. You can see the waterline on the stucco wall.

A much better view of the channel dug through the corral. We're going to clear the rocks out and fill it in with the dirt from the driveway.
