A section of the fabric roof at the University of Phoenix Stadium was ripped off due to the powerful winds and heavy rain. Reporters indicated about 1,500 square feet of fabric was damaged. At about the same time, a construction trailer was blown over near 87th Avenue and Glendale.
Heavy rain accompanied thunderstorms moving eastward across the metropolitan area. Some of the heavier amounts included 2.95 inches in Fountain Hills, and 1.97 inches in Mesa. Firefighters in Surprise performed shallow-water rescues and the Phoenix Fire Department responded to over 130 calls during the storm. Phoenix Sky Harbor airport reported 1.16 inches, along with some flight delays.
