re: Does this mean the drought is over?

Sadly, no. Most of the water flows on down the creeks and streams. The forest fires that ravaged the drought stricken area about 2 years ago reduced the natural erosion protection, so we've had a lot of mudslides and rockslides. Fortunately, no reported injuries.

I wish we had a way to collect all that water in a lake so it could be released at a later time when needed.

Hopefully, Lake Mead (Hoover Dam, farther North and West in Arizona) will add an inch or two to its water level. That area has been suffering drought conditions for several years.

We need several gentle rains that give the earth time to absorb the water, not a single dumping of 2-3 inches in a single day.

Phoenix news said 300 people were evacuated from homes near Oak Creek. The one lone bridge that crosses the creek near "Uptown Sedona" (aka: Tourist Trap) was closed for a few hours, but has now been re-opened to vehicle (not foot) traffic. It could have been a lot worse, but the National Park Service and a ton of volunteers did a bunch of flood preparation cleanup work along the creek after the last "flood" we had several years ago.

More rain is expected later tonight and tomorrow.
