“We haven’t seen damage this widespread' in years, a Tucson Electric Power spokesman said Saturday after the series of monsoon storms slammed the metro area Friday night.
Charles Borla “We haven’t seen damage this widespread" in years, a Tucson Electric Power spokesman said Saturday, after a series of storms Friday evening brought wind gusts over 60 mph, snapped more than 40 power poles, uprooted big trees and reportedly damaged some buildings around the metro area.
Cooling centers around the city have been made available by both Pima County and the city of Tucson for those affected. A great amount of stress has been put on Tucson’s grid in efforts to reroute power, Barrios said. Until restoration and repairs are complete, TEP is asking customers to conserve use as much as they can, particularly Saturday afternoon and early evening.
Tucson International Airport had wind gusts of 64 miles per hour. Due to the storm's multi-celled nature, locations throughout the metro area measured wind speeds anywhere from 30-50 miles per hour. Residents throughout the metro area also took to social media to post photos of downed trees, some of them blocking streets immediately after the storms, and of hail they variously described as being quarter- to golf-ball-sized.
Winds knocked three power poles to the side and"2 of them are now leaning against our apartment building near Ft. Lowell and Country Club," a resident tweeted Friday night.
