The one day was September 23, 2019 – 23 Elul on the Hebrew calendar.
It stormed in Phoenix, Arizona, three times on that Monday. Between 6 and 9 AM torrents of rain fell, filling the washes (arroyos) with heavy flows of white water. Some streets were flooded with a couple of inches of rain, as I found out when I drove to the bank and to Walgreens.
In early afternoon it rained heavily again. And finally, the last rain of the season (as has since become apparent) began towards sunset.
23 Elul is a memorable day in U.S. history. An official investigation to impeach President Donald Trump began in the House of Representatives in 2019. Before 23 Elul the hearings were not official.
The earlier cataclysm is known as “9/11.” On that day in 2001, two planes crashed into the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers in New York City and brought them down. The Hebrew date was also 23 Elul.
You might say that Donald Trump’s presidency crashed and began to burn that same day.
23 Elul is also exactly one week before the Jewish holy day of Rosh Hashanah, the New Year.
Coincidences don’t happen, although I can’t connect local rain storms with world shaking events. The only fact here is that these things happened on the same day according to the Hebrew calendar.
