Yes! couple of inches I would say
Thunderstorms Tuesday night downed power lines and created microbursts with winds surpassing 60 mph.
The storms moved northwest but first hit the southeast Valley, where they dumped more than an inch of rain in several areas and dropped hail in Mesa, said Leslie Wanek, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Phoenix.
"It's really everything you could think of with a severe thunderstorm," Wanek said. advertisement
The Salt River in the far east Valley reported more than 2 ½ inches of rain in two hours, according to the Flood Control District of Maricopa County.
Storms to the north and southeast earlier in the day pushed winds into the Valley that met and created the late-night storm, Wanek said.
Several thousand customers of both the Salt River Project and Arizona Public Service lost power because of the storm, officials for the companies said.
The National Weather Service is partly sunny skies for Wednesday morning. The afternoon high is expected to be 102.
The chance of rain Wednesday night is 30 percent, according to the weather service.

I wish I'd have seen it. I love a good monsoon storm. Hope there was lots of lightning, but no fires.
