I was in Arizona with my father some years ago and we drove through a severe thunderstorm after dark in the desert north of Phoenix. It was UNBELIEVABLE!! The storm got really bad when we passed Sky Harbor International. In addition, we were up at the beautiful Grand Canyon when we witnessed another thunderstorm pass BENEATH US in the canyon!! Wow. ⛈⛈⚡️⚡️Thanks for the upload.

[@danielwalker2381]

I live in Gilbert and there was that first storm (but not as much storm damage as there was in Phoenix and then it just continued to pour off and on and we got at least 3+ inches of rain

[@mckuletzz]

Phoenix's weather has been amazing this year...

[@levi1497]

And that's when I started weather watching great catch at the beginning

[@henrifirstman]

I live in Tucson and remember reading the forecast discussion just a few days ago. We had diffluence aloft and high (for us) CAPE values. We were expecting at least a few severe storms in central to north AZ
Now the structure on that storm looked alot like a supercell from what I've seen on UA-cam but there was not a tornado warning that I was aware of in the Phoenix area.
One of those last shots of a cloud lowering looked pretty intense. Was that in fact a supercell?

[@MrHenreee]

I remember this storm flooding my highschool!

[@cacatr4495]

Now That's an Arizona Monsoon Storm! That is why so many drive trucks! ~ I've saved this video to my large Arizona playlist, to the monsoon flooding section. Thanks.

[@Jeff6742Cp]

Yes the monsoonal moisture definitely intensified this storm. However, the backbone o this storm was heavily influenced by the northern jet stream that was brought down due to how bad the El Nino effect was that year.

Great footage Ben!

[@JS-yu8ct]

Awesome lightning in the beginning!

[@interstateruler]

Awesome, how fast was the winds?

[@BenjaminMcMillanAZ]

75 mph

[@cacatr4495]

40-50 mph is not uncommon in severe monsoon storms.

[@user-tr9bn3ee9e]

I live in Phoenix Arizona but I haven't seen that storm

[@SLiCKFARTS]

The worst weather here is still to come. As it gets cooler the more severe it will get.

[@OnlyHabits]

Shits crazy out her so much flooding!

[@alyssashelley9189]
