Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeScattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms developed across the south central Arizona deserts, including the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, during the morning hours on September 7th. Some of the thunderstorms produced excessive rainfall, with peak rain rates in excess of 2 inches per hour. The rain led to both urban flooding and flash flooding over portions of the greater Phoenix area. Washes quickly started to flow heavily, and water ponded across roadways and parking lots, stranding motorists.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeScattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms, some with locally heavy rain, developed across the greater Phoenix area during the morning hours on September 7th. Peak rainfall rates at the height of the storms exceeded 2 inches per hour, and the heavy rain led to widespread urban flooding of streets and washes, which affected the community of Scottsdale. According to an on-line article and a taped interview on ABC15.com, heavy morning rains caused flooding of the Indian Bend Wash Greenway near the intersection of Miller and Osborn roads. As the wash flooded the surrounding streets, some drivers were turned back by the deepening waters. One woman, Alex Luga, turned into a parking lot on an adjacent golf course and left for a short period of time. After she returned to her SUV, she found that it was stuck in water that was knee deep. Three drivers stopped to help pull her stranded SUV from the flooded parking lot. The flood waters receded quickly by early afternoon after the thunderstorms had ended.
