Tucson and Odile will be on the national news for a few days
Not just Tucson, of course... but Jim Cantore from the weather channel arrived in TUS on Tues. and was live on air from Sabino Canyon at 3:30am (AZ time) this morning. He's here to cover the storm, and they said (on KVOA news last night) that some people from the Today show were going to be in town also.

DUers doing? It is wet up here in the valley, too. It is rare to receive more than one inch and yet some areas have received 2 to 3 inches. Saying a prayer that our Tucson folks stay safe.
