Sandstorms and floods are coming one after another. This summer is not peaceful. A heavy rain last Tuesday night plunged Flag Town and Wuyou Town northwest of Phoenix into chaos. It is said that the storm caused roads to be flooded and a large number of small trees to be uprooted. Several cars stalled near Highway 17 in Wusou Town. Firefighters rescued nine people, including an infant, from three cars and a truck. Fortunately, no one was injured and did not need to be taken to the hospital for treatment. It is reported that wind gusts reached up to 66 miles per hour in the town of Anthem, causing nearly 1,500 residences to lose power for an hour. Arizona's summer storm season lasts from June 15 to September 30 every year. In previous years, thunder and lightning were mostly mixed with light rain. In recent years, there have been a lot of thunder and lightning, heavy rain, and sandstorms. Meteorological experts said that this kind of extreme weather occurs only in this state in the United States. It only occurs in other places, such as the Sahara Desert in Africa and parts of the Middle East. It is caused by dryness and the accumulation of large amounts of sand, and is closely related to the local drought in recent years. Meteorological experts urge citizens not to panic about sudden extreme weather. Dust and storms often occur in the evening. The elderly, children and people with respiratory diseases should try to avoid going out during this time.
