| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Thunderstorms continued to develop across south central Arizona during the afternoon hours on August 12th, and they persisted well into the evening. Many of the storms affected the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. Due to excessively moist atmospheric conditions, a Flash Flood Watch was in effect from noon August 12th through 5 am on Wednesday August 13th. Many of the thunderstorms produced locally heavy rain with rainfall rates in excess of 2 inches per hour at times. The heavy rain led to urban flooding, flash flooding, and eventually areal flooding which affected much of the greater Phoenix area, especially the southeast and south central portions. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Thunderstorms with locally heavy rain developed across the central portion of the greater Phoenix area during the afternoon and evening hours on August 12th; peak rain rates with the heavier showers approached 2 inches per hour at times. The heavy rain led to flood damage at some of the buildings in downtown Phoenix including the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Phoenix Administration Building located at 24th Street and Thomas Road. According to an on-line article posted at the AZFamily.Com website, heavy rain caused the roof of the building to cave in. A number of ceiling panels collapsed, leaving exposed ductwork and wiring. Standing water was left about six inches deep on the floor. Collapsed air-conditioning ductwork was hanging from the ceiling and appeared ready to fall to the ground at any second. Referring to the water damage, a Boys & Girls Club spokeswoman Lariana Forsythe said It's a disaster. Although damage to the building was considerable, nobody was hurt. Another on-line article reported that the Children's Museum of Phoenix was damaged after thousands of gallons of water poured into its atrium during the monsoon storms. The museum, located near Seventh and Van Buren Streets in downtown Phoenix, closed its first floor and three-story climbing structure due to the water damage. The flooding resulted in four inches of water on the main exhibit floor which ruined the carpet. Approximately 1000 carpet squares are needed to replace the damaged flooring, at 50 dollars each. |
