PHOTO GALLERY: Viewers capture massive damage after microburst hits Tempe, Phoenix areas
A confirmed microburst tore through Tempe on Monday afternoon, unleashing 71 mph winds that ripped roofs from homes, toppled semi-trucks, and flooded entire neighborhoods. Viewer photos capture the widespread destruction across the East Valley — from downed trees and crushed carports to submerged streets and shattered structures. The hardest-hit areas stretched from Guadalupe to Elliott roads and Kyrene to Rural roads, leaving dozens displaced and thousands without power.
