We seem to have a genuine monsoon season underway here. For what seems like the first time in years. Conditions were ripe yesterday. Coming down Squaw (I mean Piestewa) Peak around 7:15, it was unusually muggy, with constant lightning off to the southeast. By 11:30, there was a combination of wind, rain, hail like we haven't seen. It was being driven into the patio doors, hard, which also hasn't happened like that (given the 10' plus overhang). Microburst (or whatever the weather yakkers call it)?
Amazingly, we didn't lose power overnight - as did various in the area including MB Stern. One small-ish tree toppled over right outside the dining room, but roots appear intact. So the Blaha bros can fix that one, we think.
Trees down all around the neighborhood, along Cholla, etc. Much of the valley was hit but there have been enough of those news choppers floating around that the visuals here must be pretty good.
BTW, there must have been concentrated activity down by the basketball court, various photos below.
