Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeNumerous showers and thunderstorms developed across the south central Arizona deserts during the afternoon hours on the 14th, and they continued into the evening. Due to the very moist and unstable nature of the atmosphere, the storms produced locally heavy rainfall which led to episodes of flash flooding or flooding. Radar and rain gages indicated that rainfall rates exceeded 3 inches per hour at times. A few of the storms produced wet microbursts with damaging wind in excess of 60 mph. Much of the heavy rain and flash flooding affected the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, especially the southeastern portions.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeNumerous thunderstorms developed across the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, especially the southeastern valley communities, during the afternoon hours on July 14th. Due to the very moist and unstable nature of the atmosphere, the storms generated intense rainfall which led to episodes of flash flooding. Heavy rain in excess of 2 inches fell in the Gilbert area between 330 pm and 430 pm. During the peak of the heavy rainfall, approximately 1.5 inches of rain fell within 10 minutes, causing the collapse of the roof at Tees and More located at 313 North Gilbert Road. According to the store owners, Pete and Barb Addiego, the roof collapse caused at least 110 thousand dollars in damaged equipment and inventory. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
