Hunterjohnny Report post Posted July 18, 2022 Val Vista and Broadway Huge wind and lightning, gauge reads just over an inch but it was going sideways so who knows. Last weeks tore half my shingles off so this one took tarps and flooded inside, Insurance has a lot of work to do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PRDATR Report post Posted July 18, 2022 The Beeline is closed due to downed power lines. I guess that means no Trophy Pictures for the time being. https://ktar.com/story/5160716/state-route-87-shut-down-near-mesa-after-storms-bring-down-power-lines/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

creed Report post Posted July 18, 2022 Parts of Tonopah look like a war zone. Got in last night from fishing in Alaska only to find the place demolished. I took a couple of pics of the garbanzo bean plant a couple of miles from my house. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Holy Crap! HuntHarder, be glad thats SRP land, LOL. I just got off a 17 hour shift working on trying to get people back in power in that area. The news chopper was circling us all morning. It’s a disaster. Probably a hundred distribution poles and around 30 transmission towers fell. I’m no weather man but it looks to me like it had to be a tornado based on the damage. Several semi trucks flipped over as well. Lots of people out of power and will be for a quite a while. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZHunter1 Report post Posted July 19, 2022 The utility companies could place most of their lines underground and roll the cost into the people's service bill then thy would scream because they are having to pay more for their utilities. It's not just a put them in the ground thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
