| episode_narrative | Monsoon thunderstorms developed across portions of the south central Arizona deserts during the evening hours on August 16th. Some of the stronger storms generated very strong and gusty outflow winds that approached 80 mph in strength at times. At about 2050MST a traveler on Interstate 8 reported significant roof, tree and car damage from a collapsing thunderstorm near the Sentinel rest area. Earlier, at about 1745MST a member of the public located 7 miles northeast of Wittmann reported about 20 trees blown down on a local golf course. The larger trees had diameters of about 12 inches, and the damage was consistent with wind gusts of at least 60 mph. There were no reports of injuries due to the strong and damaging winds. |
