Cooler West Valley week (70s and sunny) — good time for a fall homeowners checkup after last weekend's wind and rain:

🏠 Roof & gutters
🌳 Tree limbs near the house
💧 Irrigation & drainage — water should move away from the foundation
⏳ Flood sits outside a standard HO policy (NFIP usually waits ~30 days)

Windy stretch expected late this week — secure patio furniture, trim limbs, and check the roof.

One year ago this week, the West Valley got 1–1.5" of rain and metro Phoenix saw flash flooding and road closures. 🌧️ A similar setup is in this weekend's forecast: showers & storms likely Sat night–Sun night, with a Wind Advisory Sunday and gusts up to about 45 mph possible. Amounts are still uncertain.

Quick reminders before the next one:
🏠 A standard homeowners policy generally doesn't cover flood
⏳ NFIP flood policies usually have a 30-day wait, so know your coverage before the next storm
💨 Secure patio furniture, umbrellas & trash cans, trim dead limbs, and park away from trees
📸 Snap photos of your property before the storm in case you need to file
🧹 Clear gutters & drains
🚗 Never drive through a flooded wash. Turn around, don't drown!

🎉 Heading to Fiesta Grande Sat 10/10, 5–10pm at Mark Coronado Park? Check the forecast and the city's event page for day-of updates!
