""Tens of thousands of Phoenix-area residents and businesses, including a food bank, were without power more than 15 hours after a monsoon storm knocked down trees, damaged buildings and toppled a tractor-trailer on a freeway.

The area's two major utilities reported that 37,800 customers still had no electricity late Tuesday morning - down from 70,000 immediately after Monday evening's storm.

The severe weather began moving through the area around sundown and swept across central Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tempe with lightning, winds of up to 65 mph and up to 1.5 inches of rain, according to the National Weather Service.

Flooding temporarily closed some roads and freeway ramps, while high winds knocked over a tractor-trailer on Interstate 10, sending it crashing onto the hood of a car. Dozens of traffic signals remained dark during Tuesday morning's rush hour.""

I remember that storm. It sucked because the power company here in NV (where I was) said the power would be on at 4am then 8 pm then 4pm and we were without power for nearly two days. All of our food was rotten and we had shingles ripped off the building.
