All the recycling bins people already set out are blown over and part of my neighbor's roof just flew down the street. I could barely force the back door open when I tried to go outside to find out what the crash was. (It was a gardening trowel hitting a metal post.)
I wonder if it was a microburst? I'm thinking the damage would have been worse. I might go for a little walk once it settles down a bit.

1. The heavens just opened up in S Chandler - definitely a flash flood. |

Pouring like mad! And my automatic sprinklers just went on - go figure :P
Alot of strong wind before the rain - is it raining there too?
edit to add - one downed tree in the back.
