While many of the early July storms were local in nature and very spotted, later storms have hit all parts of the valley and the desert ranges. The mountain ranges have received the most rainfall for many years and are very well soaked up. Little damage has been done by local storms with a few minor washouts on the roads in Faro-wan Faro-wan canyon reported and some damage resulting to farm lands in the south field from flood waters. ,
