Isolated thunderstorms developed across portions of southern Gila County during the evening hours on August 5th. Some of the storms generated gusty and damaging microburst winds. At 930 pm, a trained weather spotter in Roosevelt Jackass Flats, located near Lake Roosevelt and to the northwest of Globe, indicated that strong winds blew down a Mesquite tree. The tree then fell onto a nearby car. The spotter estimated wind gusts to be in excess of 65 mph. |
