I guess maybe I should join the national meet group, I'd know this stuff
already then.

Gotcha. I had forgotten about the storms. The one we experienced at the
grand canyon was pure insanity. It began drizzling and then all the sudden
opened up. We couldn't see out of the car windows at all and felt like the
rain would come in anyway. It was brutal.
You can see the rain pretty good in this pic:

We could see the storm coming and it sure moved pretty quick. It appeared
and then overtook the whole area in less than 90 minutes.
