Eat soup and look through these damp, scary Instagrams of Tucson's rain

Today's rain has flooded the @ThisIsTucson Instagram account with amazing, and sometimes dangerous, weather photos from around Tucson. Here is a look at some of our favorites.

Moisture from Tropical Storm Javier is moving its way through Southern Arizona. Some areas around Tucson received almost 3 inches of rain Tuesday morning, according to the National Weather Service.

A flash flood watch has been issued for most of Southern Arizona until Wednesday evening.
