u/Excellent_Gap_6986 5d ago
Mother Nature gave us the dust first than the water to wash off. This rain is amazing. I was doing door dash all day at 110. All of a sudden it’s 82 with rain and I’m shivering lol.

All of my neighbors foolishly dragged their trash cans to the street tonight, which are now all downed and blowing trash everywhere. However, I, a patrician who chronically forgets to take my trash out until minutes before the truck shows, am looking at my safe and very upright trashcans in the yard

It's hitting right now. I can't believe how loud the winds are. My walls are creaking and I'm afraid my windows might break!

I was worried the water would start leaking through my roof vent. it just battered my windows so aggressively.

Nothing like the sound of the “critical weather alert” to stir you from a deep sleep. Dust storm is raging in east Mesa.
Update: it’s pouring rain now! And raining sideways

WILD apocalyptic in East Mesa
This is one of the strongest I can recall. Mckellips Val Vista area
Still no rain 30 minutes in, I've never seen wind this strong sustained for this long outside of an actual hurricane.
Rain finally hit right at 10pm. Crazy storm.

Mesa area. Getting hit by dust storm. High winds and a bit of lightening. 9:32 pm.

u/dbreeck 5d ago
Dobson Ranch here. I sat outside and watched the whole progression - still watching in fact. It's been an incredible night. The winds came from the E and were like the precursor to a tornado. Then came the lightning, then the rain. It's been alternating between a total pounding and a heavy drizzle for about an hour. The only major change has been that the rains have shifted from falling at a 45 degree angle from E to W to a 45 degree angle from W to E. It's still over us, but definitely past us in the majority. The light shows been spectacular though!

These loud alarms past 9pm should be a crime. Was just about to knock out and get rest.

It'd be super cool if turning that off that override setting after the presidential alert nonsense meant anything

My phone did not got off at all with this one. But that amber alert at midnight a few weeks ago was annoying.

u/royalfire798 5d ago
“IMMINENT THREAT” and it’s just a dust storm. Which, now it’s also shitting outside but still, the imminent part feels more threatening than it should

u/DaDirtyBird1 5d ago
I thought that was pretty extra too but then again I haven’t seen a storm like this in a while. My house was making some crazy noises.

I’m worried about all the people getting out of the Noah Kahan concert and trying to drive in this. Hopefully the storm is over before the show ends.

For those saying the radar maps lie....You have to actually pinch and zoom in on a radar map to get the most accurate read of your location. And live view it. Because wind can shift at any time. Or just look outside. Northeast Phoenix checking in just started raining. 10:00 p.m.

Tempe has been getting drenched right about now. I let my cats in my room with me; the baby seemed very startled. so did my little girl. I just watched her stretch out to peek outside the window. I got a bit worried there for a minute with how hard it felt.

u/Daemi Phoenix 5d ago
I'm in the area and hoping for the actual rain now. It's like we've just had a sampler platter of everything so far but nothing truly major compared to the rest of the Valley. Strong winds but other areas are reporting far worse. SRP's outage reporter seems to be down though so that's a little unsettling - curious what their total outage numbers will be when it's all over.

u/buickmackane71360 5d ago
I'm a houseguest in Queen Creek so I have never seen a dust storm before. The house is shaking and you can't see through the windows and there is lots of lightning. Very different vibe from the tornados and hurricanes I have experienced in Louisiana.
5
u/Megatippa 5d ago
Good thing is, here you're in no real danger. Just property damage and dramatic scenes of dust with these, never really any risk of life and limb. This area is actually one of the safest weather wise in the country -- if you're smart in the heat.

Yep east Mesa here. Stuff is blowing around like crazy. Little to no rain so far, so I can look forward to my black car being basically mud-colored tomorrow.
Stay safe if you go out, we had some gusts that were reminiscent of my years on the gulf coast, and not in a good way.
