Did anyone in Glendale Arizona see last nights storm?!?!

Question

ITS WAS CRAZY! August 7th 2008, maybe around 9pm a big storm started to scare the c**p out of me!! Its was far by the worst i have seen with my very own young eyes..if that is scary i don't want to know what a tornado feels like!!

Answer 1

Oh yea! It was nice though. I thank God we don't have tornadoes though because I have nightmares about those! But this monsoon weather is nice for a change, besides the humidity in the day time.

Answer 2

Yeah, was coming up the 101 near the Cardinals stadium.  Very, very impressive.  I've seen monsoons in Arizona, but none with that level of lightning.

Answer 3

im in downtown phoenix and i heard it too and we lost power for half an hour or so. the thunder was really loud. the lightning was bad too.

Answer 4

I heard it was TERRIBLE...i live in avondale...i was knocked out (sleep), and i don't think it rained too bad here, but it did rain

Answer 5

I'm not old, but I have seen worse. I was in Mesa at the time (that's where the storms hit the hardest) and my boyfriend (a flight instructor) said that it was another haboob and that the dust storm really shook up his plane. He said he dropped 1000 ft in ten seconds before stablizing it. Got some great pictures though!

But it's not the worse. This is just the Monsoon season. We had a bit of a break but it's back and we will probably continue getting this weather until Sept. 1st.

(If you have any questions about the weather let me know. I just finished a southwest meteorology course, I keep tabs with NOAA every day and am constantly listening to air traffic control)

Answer 6

No I did not see it, as I am no where near Arizona.  It sounds like it was a duzzie.  We have had our share here too...lightening, thunder, rain, hail and wind too...a strange summer this year.

Answer 7

Amazingly enough I was SO tired that I laid down at 7:00 pm and slept through the whole thing...not typical of me, but when I heard the news today I'm very surprised I didn't hear the thunder at least.

Answer 8

What storm?

I was drunk with my white trash pals in Chandler at Mike's trailer park.
