| episode_narrative | Scattered monsoon thunderstorms developed during the evening hours across much of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area on August 12th. The primary weather hazards associated with the storms were gusty and damaging outflow winds along with areas of dense blowing dust. Dense blowing dust and dust storm conditions with visibility down to near zero miles occurred from central Phoenix south through communities such as Chandler, and then as far south as Casa Grande. Numerous reports of significant wind damage were received from trained spotters, the public and broadcast media. Virtually all of the damage involved downed trees, such as the public report of a large eucalyptus tree that was blown into an apartment building at the intersection of Mill and Southern Avenue. There were no reports of injuries despite the numerous reports of wind damage across the Phoenix area. |
| event_narrative | Thunderstorms with gusty outflow winds affected the southeast portion of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area during the early evening hours on August 12th; the stronger storms generated gusty winds over 40 mph that stirred up areas of dense blowing dust and created dust storm conditions across portions of Chandler and Sun Lakes. Multiple reports were received of dust storms conditions, from trained spotters as well as the public. At 1820MST a trained spotter 4 miles southeast of Chandler reported visibility down to zero miles in a dust storm near the intersection of the San Tan Freeway and Cooper Road. At 1829MST a second trained spotter 2 miles southeast of Chandler reported visibility in a dust storm near the intersection of Price Road and Germann Road. He indicated that the dust storm was moving west towards Interstate 10. Finally, at 1847MST a member of the public located 3 miles west of Sun Lakes reported visibility down to one eighth of a mile in a dust storm at the intersection of Interstate 10 and Riggs Road. No accidents or injuries were reported due to sharply restricted visibility and hazardous driving conditions. |
