1 flood, 1 thunderstorm wind. Local standard time, as filed.
Rainfall up to one inch in just 15 minutes caused a flash flood that overflowed washes near New River. Arizona Public Service reported 311 customers lost power.
Microburst winds struck a large area of East Mesa during the evening. The hardest hit area was between Lindsay and Gilbert Roads and between Baseline and Southern Ave. Strong winds flipped trailers, blew out windows, and knocked down about 20 power poles. Some motorists were injured and stranded as the power poles fell onto the roadway. Fifteen people had to be rescued from their cars, and four people from one car were taken to a hospital for treatment. Storms also hit parts of east Phoenix, and high winds cut visibility along I-10 near Casa Grande.
