Flash floods hit Maricopa County on September 16th as thunderstorms dumped inches of rain in minutes—especially in Mesa and at Falcon Field Airport. The National Weather Service issued a warning urging drivers to turn around if they encountered flooded roads, since most flood deaths occur from vehicles entering water. Even Phoenix Sky Harbor saw a temporary ground stop for over an hour as storms disrupted air travel. A stark reminder: even in dry climates, weather can change fast—staying alert saves lives.
