Anybody in phoenix sitting through this storm in Phoenix?

It's like a fireworks show, the lighting is so constant there's no time between the thunder. The sound just keeps rolling on and on. It's finally starting to die down.

And before I get the "useless without pics" people yelling here's a video.

video of the storm

I lived in the Phoenix area for close to 9 years and remember the monsoon storms well. The dry air creates one of the most spectacular lighting storms I have ever seen, and that is saying a lot coming from Oklahoma.

I had some pretty hard hail here in Tempe...I just got back today from a 12-day trip and this is what I come home to My power even went out for 10 minutes! Hooray for brand new apartments that have weak wiring...or something.

Wait... a monsoon takes out your power and it's "weak wiring"? Wow hahaha

Crap, I hope i don't have and hail damage on my car. I didn't see any hail but I didn't stay out there too long.

Monsoons were one of the coolest things living in Tempe...I remember my first one..It was the hardest rain Ive ever seen. Oh ya...you all have fun cleaning up all that dirt thats gonna be covering everything tomorrow

DANG!! The lighting was awesome, but then I got stuck out in the hail, in my new car Had to drive about 15 mins. Its still pouring, and the thunder is like a crazy subwoofer going off..I've been thru some crazy storms in TX, and was right next to those tornadoes that destroyed downtown Atlanta in March, but this is definitely up there

I got a message from a friend at 2:00 am. A tree fell on her car because of the storm.

Cool video, we had a storm like that in the NE about a month ago, the lightning was going off constantly and it was raining super hard, of course the power cut out briefly as well after a lightning bolt came pretty close to my apt. I love sitting outside on a porch during huge lightning shows like that, the feeling you get is intense!

Storm was awesome enough to fap to, roll over and sleep deep.

Ew. :/


Our power went out for a few minutes, first time that has happened in a long time. The lightning was spectacular and scary.

 

[Skel]

My power was out for a few hours. Not exactly sure when they fixed it, as I went to bed. It was like a bad horror film in my place while I was looking for my candles.

Great storm. Power went out for 30 min, and I heard a huge explosion at 1:30am, but it was some nice rain.

I live in the Summit downtown, (crazy colored building next to the stadium), 12th floor, it was intense.

 

[Mardeth]

Thats crazy. Never been in a storm like that.

 

[Blunc]

power was out till this morning because a pine tree in my area took out some power lines, didn't see any hail damage on the car but it certainly sounded bad on the roof.

 

[elbosco]

Fun storm.

Unfortunately, I had this waiting for me when I woke up courtesy of Mr. branch

Not wanting to be left out, the whole family decided to tag along for the short ride down to earth. Thankfully, Mr. shade took most of the damage.

I was lucky though, as this was laying on the truck just a few parking spaces down from me.

I :heart: monsoons.
