Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA line of thunderstorms developed across south central Imperial county during the early afternoon hours on August 21st and they affected communities such as Imperial and El Centro. The stronger storms produced damaging microburst winds estimated to be in excess of 60 mph. The peak thunderstorm wind gusts were sufficient to blow down numerous power poles as well as overturn semi-trailer trucks on area highways such as Interstate 8. In addition to the strong winds, some storms produced large hail as well as locally heavy rainfall. The heavy rainfall led to episodes of both flash flooding and flooding which covered much of central and eastern Imperial county. Numerous roads were closed during the afternoon and evening hours due to the flooding. No injuries were reported due to the strong winds or flooding.
