I live near Paradise Valley, a Phoenix suburb, and for over a one mile stretch, all the power poles were knocked down by the wind. A wash near my home was flowin like a river. At times, it seemed more like a tornado than a monsoon rain storm Very scary to say the least.
#1 - Sat Aug 30, 2008 1:00 PM EDTI live in Hawaii and have been thru 2 hurricanes and numerous tropical storms. We had a tropical storm hit us last year that took down telephone poles like a dominoe effect. Anyway I'm planning to fly to las vegas on tuesday. Pheonix is a one of our transfer airports. Is it up and running okay now???
