Episode narrativeepisode_narrative	Showers and embedded thunderstorms developed across south central Arizona during the early morning hours on September 8th, and as the morning progressed the showers intensified and became more and more widespread. Partially due to an infusion of tropical moisture from former hurricane Norbert, the storms produced intense rainfall with rainfall rates commonly in excess of 2 inches per hour and in some cases, in excess of 6 inches per hour for short periods of time. By the middle of the morning, most of the central deserts had received over two inches of rain, and many locations across the greater Phoenix metropolitan area picked up between 3 and 6 inches of rainfall. Phoenix Sky Harbor airport received 3.29 inches of rainfall with this event; the rain total set an all time record for any calendar date. The rainfall caused widespread flash flooding followed by flooding; numerous roads were closed. Several freeways were closed, including Interstate 10, as pumping stations failed and lakes several feet deep formed across portions of the freeways. Hundreds of cars were stranded across the greater Phoenix area, many buried to the top of their hoods in flood waters. Hundreds of homes and apartment complexes across the greater Phoenix area were flooded. Heavy rains damaged roofs across the valley, and collapsed the roof of a Fry's grocery store in Tempe. Clearly, the heavy rainfall led to a historic flooding event across south central Arizona on September 8th.
Event narrativeevent_narrative	Widespread showers and embedded thunderstorms developed across the greater Phoenix metropolitan area during the early morning hours on September 8th. Although the thunderstorms were rather isolated, at 0200MST lightning from one of the storms struck a house in south Phoenix. The house was located near 27th Avenue and Baseline Road, at 9624 S 26th Lane in Phoenix. Neighbors reported hearing a large boom at 0200MST when the lightning bolt struck; by the time firefighters arrived the flames were too intense and they were forced to go into a defensive mode. Four children and two adults made it out of the house safely, however the house was a total loss.
