Frequently asked questions
My street flooded and a friend across town got nothing. Same storm?
Probably the same system but not the same cell. Monsoon convection is intensely localized, and a single thunderstorm can park over a few square miles while the rest of the basin stays dry. Comparing your damage to a citywide rainfall figure will understate what actually landed on your roof.
There is a dry wash behind the property. Is that a hazard or just landscape?
It is a channel that happens to be empty most of the time. Washes here carry the runoff from storms that may have fallen well upslope, and they go from dry sand to full flow with very little warning. Proximity to one matters more than the rainfall recorded at the house.
Why do flat roofs here need attention if it barely rains?
Because the drainage has months to clog between uses. Dust settles into scuppers and canales during the dry season and consolidates rather than washing away, so the first heavy monsoon storm meets outlets that are already partly blocked. The failure is maintenance timing, not rainfall volume.
