WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
August 2000Thunderstorm WindGlobe1 hurt, $5,000High winds blew a trampoline onto a brick wall of a house and injured a young girl.
July 2021Flash FloodGlobe$800,000A significant flood wave of water, ash, mud, and other debris moved downstream in Pinal Creek through Six Shooter Canyon. Flood water escaped the banks of Pinal Creek in many locations and caused varying degrees of property damage to 15 homes along Six Shooter Canyon Road with one of the homes deemed a total loss. Photos and videos of two of the impacted homes showed 1-3 feet of water and debris moving through the the yards and up against the homes with water and mud entering the homes. There were also multiple videos that showed 1-2 feet of water and debris flowing rapidly down Six Shooter Canyon Rd from Delores Lane to at least Marlin Drive. In addition to the 15 damaged homes, there was a lot of damage to fencing, roads, a few bridges, vehicles, and other infrastructure and personal property. The flood wave would continue down Pinal Creek all the way through downtown Globe. There were no reports of injuries.
July 1999Flash FloodGlobe$100,000Widespread damage due to 3 inches of rainfall in about one hour. Washes flooded in most areas, with one swift-water rescue of a motorist in the Central Heights area. State route 88 to Roosevelt Lake at Wheatfields was closed due to high water going over the road.
August 2022Flash FloodGlobe$40,000Image from social media along Hackney Avenue in Globe showed a destroyed pickup truck lying along a box culvert, likely swept away by flood waters several feet deep along a wash running adjacent to the road. Timing estimated from radar. No injuries were reported.
July 2017Flash FloodGlobe$25,000Thunderstorms with very heavy rain developed across portions of southern Gila County during the late evening hours on July 17th and they primarily impacted areas from the town of Globe south past the Pinal Fire burn scar. At 2306MST a mesonet weather station 5 miles southeast of Globe measured 1.32 inches of rain in a one hour period. This rain fell very close to the Pinal Fire burn scar and resulted in an episode of flash flooding downstream from the scar. Local law enforcement reported that at 2300MST heavy debris and water were washing over the bridge in Upper Ice House Canyon near 9758 Ice House Canyon Road. A Flash Flood Warning was issued for the area beginning at 2304MST and continuing through 0200MST the following day. No injuries were reported as a result of the flash flooding.
July 2003HailGlobe$20,000Large hail and microburst winds damaged an airplane and a storage building at the Cutter Airport. San Carlos forestry personnel reported the aircraft was blown onto a nearby road before coming to rest.
July 2018Flash FloodGlobe$10,000Thunderstorms with very heavy rain developed across portions of southern Gila County during the late morning and early afternoon hours. Peak rain rates were well in excess of one inch per hour. Some of the heavy rain affected the area around Globe as well as the Pinal burn scar and was sufficient to cause flash flooding over the burn scar. At 1320MST a local emergency manager reported that several low water crossings were closed below the burn scar in both Sixshooter and Kellner canyons. Water was reported to be heavily laden with ash as well as debris. A Flash Flood Warning was issued for the area beginning at 1200MST and it remained in effect through 1500MST. Fortunately there were no injuries reported due to the flash flooding.
July 2009Heavy RainGlobe$10,000Several reports of heavy rain in the Globe and Miami area. One of the heaviest amounts was 1.30 inches in about 50 minutes which resulted in minior flooding. Pea size hail was also reported at the time of the heavy rainfall. One spotter in Miami reported a wall of water coming towards him shortly after 7 PM.
July 2009Heavy RainGlobe$10,000A strong thunderstorm produced as much as 1.30 inches of rain in just 50 minutes across Globe which resulted in minior flooding. Pea size hail was also reported at the time of the heavy rainfall. One spotter in Miami reported a wall of water coming towards him shortly after 7 PM.
July 2017Thunderstorm WindGlobe$6,000Strong thunderstorms developed near Globe during the late evening hours on July 17th. They produced strong, gusty outflow winds estimated to be as high as 60 mph. According to local law enforcement, at 2300MST the winds blew down a number of trees approximately 1 mile southeast of the town of Globe. A Severe Thunderstorm Warning had been issued for the area at 2237MST and it was in effect through 2300MST.
August 2009Thunderstorm WindGlobe$5,000A wind gust of 56 mph from the north was reported by a spotter. A 300 gallon water tank was blown over.
August 1998Thunderstorm WindGlobe$2,000Strong winds blew down at least one antenna.
February 2020FloodGlobe$1,000A strong Pacific low pressure system spread copious amounts of moisture into south central Arizona during the day on Saturday February 22nd; this led to widespread moderate to heavy rain which began in the morning hours. Although rain rates were never overly high, the steady rain allowed for some locations to pick up upwards of 3 inches during the day and some areal flooding occurred as a result. Flooding occurred in the area around Globe; as reported by the Gila County Sheriff's Office at 1536MST flooding caused the Beer Tree Crossing at Pinal Creek to become closed. The closure was about 1 mile to the southeast of Globe. While there were no flood warnings issued, an areal flood advisory was put into effect shortly after the report of the closure at the Beer Tree Crossing.
July 2025Flash FloodGlobe-Video and photos show 2 to 4 feet of murky floodwater rapidly moving through Pinal Creek, with Beer Tree Crossing impassable. Timing estimated from radar. No damages nor injuries were reported.
October 2025Flash FloodGlobe-Video image showed a torrent of water moving down Pinal Creek and overtopping the bridge at East Haskins Road in Globe. No damages or injuries reported.
October 2025Flash FloodGlobe-Water levels from Pinal Creek out of its banks and nearly overtopping Connies bridge in Globe. No damages or injuries reported.
October 2025Flash FloodGlobe-Considerable flow with several inches of water overtopping bridge and flowing down Six Shooter Canyon Road from Six Shooter Canyon Wash. No damages or injuries reported.
October 2025Flash FloodGlobe-Low water crossing along Matlock Drive was overcome by the flood waters of Pinal Creek. Jesse Hayes Road nearby was also overcome by the floodwaters of both Pinal Creek and Hayes Gulch. No damages or injuries reported.
September 2025Flash FloodGlobe-Images and videos showed significant floodwaters in Pinal Creek, making low-water crossings impassable. The floodwater reached the base of a bridge located just south of Downtown Globe. Radar estimates showed over 2 inches of rain fell over the basin in less than 3 hours. No damages or injuries reported.
September 2025Flash FloodGlobe-Fast flowing water through Six Shooter Canyon wash, inundating low water crossings including Beer Tree Crossing. No damages or injuries reported.
July 2022Flash FloodGlobe-Videos show Pinal Creek overtopping a bridge along Six Shooter Canyon Road near Delores Lane making the road impassable. Flood waters from the overtopped bridge are seen in a video traveling down Six Shooter Canyon Road. A rain gage upstream recorded 1.1 of rain in 15 minutes. No injuries or damage was reported.
July 2022Flash FloodGlobe-Heavy rainfall over the Telegraph burn scar led to heavy runoff into Pinal Creek. The rapid increase in flow in Pinal Creek made Beer Tree Crossing impassable, with images showing barricades in place to close the road. A nearby stream gage observed a 1.84 ft increase in flow in Pinal Creek. No damage or injuries were reported.
July 2022Flash FloodGlobe-Video of rapid-moving floodwaters through a wash through Waggin' Vineyard and report that waves reached nearly 10 feet at times. No damages or injuries were reported. Timing based on radar.
August 2022Flash FloodGlobe-A video showed a flood wave traveling down Pinal Creek in Six Shooter Canyon before overtopping a bridge along Six Shooter Canyon Road. Flood waters could be seen traveling down the road making the road impassable. No damage or injuries were reported.
June 2022Flash FloodGlobe-Images showed Beer Tree Crossing barricaded due to Pinal Creek running across the road. Other images also showed Walliman Road was impassable due to flooding across the roadway.
July 2021Flash FloodGlobe-A trained weather spotter reported that high flow in Pinal Creek made Beer Tree Crossing Road in the Globe area impassable. The high flow in Pinal Creek was the result of heavy rainfall over the recent Telegraph fire burn scar, leading to enhanced runoff. No damage or injuries were reported.
July 2021Flash FloodGlobe-Significant amount of flowing water through Icehouse Canyon and Pinal Creek in Sixshooter Canyon, with downstream flow through Globe, was observed due to heavy rain. Runoff was enhanced by the recent Telegraph burn scar. A spotter in the area reported all major creeks and washes were flowing with ash blackened flood waters. The spotter added that Beer Tree Crossing through Sixshooter Canyon was flooded and there was minor street flooding further downstream. No damages or injuries were reported.
July 2021Flash FloodGlobe-Multiple social media photos and videos showed 6-8 feet of water flowing down the Pinal Creek flood retention channel in downtown Globe. Flood water nearly reached the bottom of a few of the bridges across Pinal Creek. Flood water would continue downstream in Pinal Creek for several miles north of Globe. There were no reports of damage or injuries in Downtown Globe.
July 2021Flash FloodGlobe-Heavy rainfall combined with enhanced runoff from the recent Telegraph burn scar led to flooding across Ice House Canyon road in Ice House Canyon. Images from Forest Service officials showed a considerable amount of debris on the banks of the wash with some debris covering the surface of the road. No injuries or damage were reported.
July 2021Flash FloodGlobe-A video from social media showed swift moving water flowing down a creek in Ice House Canyon with known low water crossings along the creek. Timing was estimated from the video. No damage or injuries were reported.
July 2021Debris FlowGlobe-A survey done by the Arizona Geological Survey (AZGS) from the University of Arizona found evidence of debris flow across Forest Service Road 112 in multiple locations between Icehouse CCC Campground and Pioneer Pass Campground. Debris flow was found in tributaries to Pinal Creek from both the west and the east. Photos from the survey showed many large loose boulders. Timing of debris flow estimated from radar. No injuries or damage reported.
July 2021Flash FloodGlobe-Heavy rainfall over the recent Telegraph burn scar led to enhanced runoff into Pinal Creek, which resulted in flash flooding. At 0830MST, a trained weather spotter reported swiftly moving water estimated to be several feet deep flowing over Beer Tree Crossing Road at Pinal Creek in the Globe area. No injuries or damage was reported.
July 2021Flash FloodGlobe-Heavy rainfall over the recent Telegraph fire burn scar led to enhanced runoff into Pinal Creek. Video from a trained weather spotter showed significant flow through Pinal Creek impacting the unbridged crossing at Beer Tree Crossing and Jesse Hayes Road in Globe. No damage or injuries were reported.
July 2021Flash FloodGlobe-Video from a trained spotter showed substantial ash-blackened flood water flowing through Pinal Creek, with flow over Beer Tree Crossing near Jess Hayes Road. No damages or injuries were reported.
August 2021Flash FloodGlobe-Video shows considerable flow through Pinal Creek with at least 6 inches of swift-moving water over Beer Tree Crossing near Jess Hayes Road. Rainfall of 1.5 to 2 inches was measured in the area and upstream. Runoff may have been enhanced by the 2021 Telegraph burn area. No damages or injuries were reported.
August 2021Flash FloodGlobe-Video shows significant flow in Six Shooter Canyon with floodwaters overtopping a small bridge at Six Shooter Canyon Road and Delores Lane. Homes may have been impacted with this flow level, considering a previous event, but there were no reports of damages and no reports of injuries either. It is uncertain if this event occurred in the morning or afternoon, but a downstream gage at Beer Tree Crossing registered a greater rise in the afternoon versus the morning. The gage crested at 3.91 feet at 1659MST. Although not reported, Beer Tree Crossing was likely impassable.
July 2018Heavy RainGlobe-Afternoon thunderstorms developed over portions of southern Gila County on July 29th, and one of the stronger ones generated locally heavy rains that affected areas around the town of Globe. At 1741MST, a trained weather spotter measured peak rain rates in excess of 2 inches per hour; 1.11 inches was measured 3 miles out of Six Shooter Canyon during the previous 30 minutes. Flash flooding was not reported around Globe but a Flood Advisory was issued at 1719MST and it continued through 2011MST.
September 2017HailGlobe-Thunderstorms developed over portions of southern Gila County during the afternoon hours on September 4th and one of the stronger storms produced large hail which fell in the town of Globe. A trained weather spotter in Globe measured hailstones with a diameter of three quarters of an inch at about 1439MST. No damage was reported due to the hail. A Significant Weather Advisory was in effect at the time of the large hail; no Severe Thunderstorm Warning was issued however. In addition to the hail, the storm produced heavy rain which resulted in water to the top of the curbs on the east side of Globe.
July 2017Flash FloodGlobe-Thunderstorms with very heavy rain developed across portions of southern Gila County during the late evening hours on July 17th and they affected the community of Globe. At about 2300MST a mesonet station 5 miles southeast of Globe measured 1.32 inches of rain within one hour, sufficient to cause flash flooding in the area. As reported by another federal agency, just after midnight a very rapid rise in water in Pinal Creek was noted; the rapidly rising water was in close proximity to the Gila County RV Park in Globe. Water remained within its banks but was flowing swiftly and approaching bank full. A Flash Flood Warning was in effect for the area at the time of the flooding; it had been issued at 2304MST and would remain in effect into the early morning hours the next day.
August 2014Heavy RainGlobe-Thunderstorms with locally heavy rainfall developed across portions of southern Gila county during the late afternoon hours, and some of them affected the communities of Globe and Claypool. A trained weather spotter 4 miles south of Globe measured 1.6 inches of rain starting around 1700MST and continuing into the early morning hours on August 2nd. Most of the rain, however, occurred in the early evening on August 1st. The heavy rain led to small stream flooding, and as a result a Small Stream Flood Advisory was issued for southern Gila county, beginning at 1738MST and continuing in effect until 1930MST.
July 2012Heavy RainGlobe-Scattered thunderstorms developed across southern Gila county during the afternoon hours on July 20th, and the storms produced locally heavy rainfall with rainfall rates in excess of one inch per hour.
