- I live near La Canada and Continental, so this video is from this part of town. We got 1.27 inches of rain in just 26 minutes according to my neighbor Heinz who has a weather station. I would be interested to hear from other people in town how different areas were affected. I certainly hope there was no major damage. I know people are still dealing with damage from the hail storm a week or so ago. If you are not from Green Valley, or you are here part-time and currently somewhere else, please enjoy the video. I know the video is long, but if you choose to watch it, I do not think you will be bored. This storm may have been short, but it was pretty epic with frequent lightning (some excellent lightning shots), loud thunder, high winds and heavy rain!!! As I upload this video to youtube it is 11:30 pm my time and I am getting another thunderstorm and rain.
25 years ago, we had a storm just like this. It occurred in early February. It brought 80MPH winds, torrential rain, very intense lightning and thunder. It was during the 1997-1998 El Nino. We were under a severe thunderstorm warning, high wind warning, a winter storm warning, a high surf warning, and a flash flood warning. Unfortunately, several people were killed in this storm. I remember there were numerous trees damaged as well as property damage to homes and businesses due to the high winds and flooding as well as numerous destructive lightning strikes. It also produced numerous power outages.
Wow! That sounds like one heck of a storm. It is sad to hear that it was a deadly storm.
Here in Southern California, we get storms like this in the wintertime, usually with El Nino, mainly in late December, January, February and early March. A storm this intense occurs mainly in February. Summer thunderstorms are rare. We get one every 4-5 years.
Looks like you have a few days of storms on deck for SO CAL. A couple of day later, we have an 75% chance of rain on Friday 12/22/2023 and 55% chance on Saturday 12/23/2023. If anything notable occurs, I will be sure to capture some video to share!
This reminds me so much of the derecho we got in Iowa in 2020. It just kept blowing and seemed to never stop. And for Arizona? That is a LOT of rain. Great footage!
Glad you enjoyed the video LA40! Summer is my favorite season here in AZ. Yes, it gets hot, but the monsoon storms are amazing!!! Nothing quite like a healthy thunderstorm to bring a little excitement to the day (or night)!!!
Awesome storm!! Thanks for sharing! 🤗
That was an amazing storm Becky. I am glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and your comment!!!
Hey! Your neighbor here in Green Valley! Keep up the great work! I'm excited for the monsoon this year!
That dark cloud looks like a supercell. Looks like some rotation in that dark cloud.
It could have been a supercell, but I could not be sure as I think I was too close to it to make that identification. I do think there was some rotation, but it was very slow in my opinion. Excellent observations Michael!
That was a heck of a storm. We are also in Green Valley. Its funny how storms come in from the south and then split in the middle and go all around us. Thanks for the videos. We need more rain 🌧.
Yes Tammy, it is frustrating at times to see the storms split and leave us high and dry. I am all for more rain, but at least it looks like we are close to having caught up on rainfall for the year so far!
Love The Sound Of The Thunder Beautiful Thunderstorm Wish it Would Do More Of That Here In Arizona I am In Buckeye AZ
I LOVE a good thunderstorm! I am in Green Valley, AZ which is about 20 miles south of Tucson. We considered Buckeye when looking to move to AZ 8 years ago, but ended up choosing Green Valley as it was closer to work if I ever had to go in to the office. My wife has relatives in Buckeye, and they love it there!!!
Bart that was one hell of a severe thunderstorm! I saw it come through on radar! 1.27 of an inch is a lot of water! Those bolts were incredible! Glad you didn't suffer any property damage!
Oh yeah John, this was a potent storm. 1.27' in less than 30 minutes? That is a heck of an hourly rainfall rate! I am glad I was able to capture some good lightning shots to share. Yes, that makes two of us glad about no property damage! I'll be visiting your channel soon!
@@bartk85622 Very incredible rainfall rates! I can imagine the flooding!
From a meteorological standpoint, southern Arizona is a wonderful place. Snow on the highest mountains during the winter and monsoon rains in the summer.
You are absolutely correct Zach! From November to June, the weather is mostly very nice. Yes, of course it is cooler in the winter, but we have many days of reasonable temperatures and abundant sunshine. From mid June through October, things change. This is our monsoon season, and it is quite dynamic! I love this season, and I have posted lots of storm and lightning videos over the years. I am looking forward to this upcoming season to provide more content for me to share on my channel. Thanks for watching and your comment!!!
Here in the San Fernando Valley, we get storms like this during the winter in December, January, February and March, especially during El Nino.
This year must have been a good year for storms then!
Your region is a great place to be during monsoon season. I spent a July in Tombstone when I was a kid. There were storms every day (and night) for weeks.
Thanks again for another comment Zach! I LOVE a good thunderstorm! I like them at night. There is nothing like falling asleep to a rip roaring thunderstorm, but those night storms are not easy to capture with the equipment I use, so I am really happy for the daytime storms in terms of capturing them on video. Here in Green Valley, we usually see our first thunderstorm of the season in early July even though the season officially starts June 15th. Just a little less than 2 months to go until it is here!!!
Nicely captured! Had a good element of drama with your commentary added. Cheers.
Thanks for watching and your kind words Rick! I am glad you enjoyed the video!!!
AZ gets some crazy storms. But there's something cool about rain in the desert.
Great video, we are part time residents in Green Valley and appreciate seeing the storm moving in. Thank you for sharing
You are welcome Dan! A lot of part-timers like to follow this channel to keep up with what happens while they are gone! Thanks for watching and your comment!
Wow extremely insane how the lightning and the rain was that was very shocking to me never seen that storm that bad before insane amount of wind and rain and lightning
We do have some amazing storms down here in SE Arizona. I am glad you enjoyed watching, and thanks for the comment!!!
@@bartk85622 yeah no problem I even get amazing thunderstorms montana does have severe thunderstorms as well
And everyone should know….the insurance adjuster told me that while homeowner’s insurance covers water damage from roof, wall or broken window leaks or burst pipes it doesn’t cover water that might rise high enough to come into the house through a window or door. That’s called flood damage and you have to have flood insurance for that. So…make sure everything drains away from your house and has a way to get out through the wall if your yard is enclosed. Rising water is a flood and it’s not covered unless you buy flood insurance!
Thanks for watching and your comment Pam! That is good information to be aware of!
That storm looks like a supercell. It could produce a tornado.
Thankfully, we do not get too many tornadoes in this part of Arizona, and those we get are on the small end of the scale. However, we do get some epic thunderstorms and from those an occasional micro burst which at times are damaging. Have you seen my microburst video? If not, here is the link ruclips.net/video/uA5RGrc6P1k/видео.html
Awesome storm man! I’m in Albuquerque and the monsoon season has been pretty consistent with rain and good CG’s like yours, caught some pretty good ones the past week. But man places like Tuscon and Phoenix has just been hit with severe storm after severe storm, I heard of that crazy storm that blew over a stand or sum, I don’t remember what it was but the winds I’ve seen all over social media from those storms were crazy. We’ve had storms and locally heavy rainfall here but we have yet to see our first severe thunderstorm of the season.
Thanks for watching and your comment! We have had huge thunderstorms all around us for several weeks now, but until a couple of weeks, none at my location in Green Valley, AZ which is about 25 miles south of Tucson. A week or so ago, we had a hellacious thunderstorm at my location with up to 2" hail, I have a video of that as well. Then the thunderstorm in this video a week or so later. The first one with hail caused a LOT of damage to roof and skylights, hundreds of them that I am aware of. When I started taking video of this storm, I did not think much would come of it because many storms cling to the mountains about 6 or 8 miles east of us. I think I even say that in the video, but boy was I wrong! We ended up with 1.5" of rain that day, and I am happy for the water as well as the show that storm put on!!!
Arizona thunderstorms are the best.
Yes they are! And monsoon season is only a few months away now! Thanks for watching and your comment!
The storm in Phoenix was insane, we had 60+ moh winds nonstop Lightning and thunder. Our street was a small river. And we still have a flood warning. Be careful out there. Thankfully we didn't loose power. It was the most powerful Thunderstorm ive ever seen since 2014. Be safe out there these storms are no joke.
(Edit) we were in a purple and pink storm cell
Wow, that sounds a lot worse than what I posted! I am glad to hear that you did not lose power. I wonder what a purple and pink storm cell means. I know that a greenish sky can mean hail is possible. Sounds like it was a wild ride! Our storm did get the washes running over the roads. My neighbor and I are going to clean up things later this morning. You be safe too. I know these storms are no joke, but I did love getting the rain!!!
@@bartk85622 When you see pink or white on radar in a thunderstorm cell, it's indicative of hail.
@@johngligo4049 Good to know! Thanks John!
@@bartk85622 You're welcome Bart! Looks like more storms brushed you... We've been teased all day but to our south and southeast there's been some bad flash flooding!
@@johngligo4049 We did get some rain today, but nothing like yesterday. There is currently a pretty good thunderstorm passing just to the south from SE to NW.
Awesome👍👍 Love It💜💜💜❤❤❤👍🏿👍🏿
Thanks for watching Mary, glad you enjoyed it!!!
One of those looks like a supercell
It could be Michael. I am no expert, but I do like to capture the stormy weather during the monsoon season.
What would be fun is to give these big storms names, such as Andrea, Billy, Chantel, David, etc.
That is an interesting concept Michael, kind of like naming the tropical storms and hurricanes!
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
Well, your screen name indicates that you would! Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching and your comment!
I really love this video and I will watch it over and over, please do more videos and stay safe okay.
I am glad you love the video Angela. I will do the best I can to capture more storms while monsoon season is here!!! Thanks for watching and your comment!
Hi Bart , it's a great storm！ The lovely red flower trees on the poolside are working hard in the storm.
Hi Ayame! The bushes with the red flowers are called Oleander, and yes, they were being thrashed by the rain and wind. Yes, the storm was pretty wild, and thankfully it was relatively short. Thanks you for watching and your comment!!!
There are 3 old geezers sitting on a park bench. 1st one says “It’s sure windy today”. The 2nd replies “No, it’s Thursday”. The 3rd geezer says “I’m thirsty too, let’s get some beer”. Better not be driving in that crazy weather Bart, stay safe.
Good one Gene! You and your family please stay safe as well! Thanks for watching and the joke!
Sometimes a storm like this could produce a tornado or at worst a funnel cloud or two.
Absolutely true Michael! Thankfully that does not happen very often here, and the tornadoes I have heard of here have been on the small side, again, thankfully!!! We have also had some pretty wicked micro-bursts that have caused major damage as well as one hail storm I can remember.
Wow! That’s an amazing storm. Hello Arizona. Greetings from England.
Yes Martin, this storm was pretty special, in a malevolent sort of way. I am glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for the greetings from England! I greet you back from sometimes stormy Arizona!!!
Thanks for this video. I am new to Green Valley. I've never seen a storm like this one.
You are welcome KG, and welcome to Green Valley! I have been here 8 years now (times goes by so quickly!) and I have never doubted the decision to live here. I love it and I love sharing what I see with others, especially people interested in possibly moving to Green Valley!
Great Video! Our power went out last night for a bit. Crazy lightning. We live right behind Tj max and Bealls. Pretty sure the whole neighborhood went out of power.
Hey Jenna, glad you enjoyed the video! Sorry to hear that you lost power, I hope it was not for too long! Thanks for watching and your comment!
Making me homesick, I miss living in Arizona so much. I grew up in the hottest driest part too (the tri-state area, just south of Bullhead City.) Funny thing is, I’ve been living in New Orleans, Louisiana (the wettest state in the country) for the past 14 years, where heavy rain and thunderstorms occurs pretty much 2-3 times a week with only a rare occasional dry spell here and there during the summer. To this day, I still get excited and happy when a thunderstorm is about to hit. My Louisiana native wife and her family look at me like I’m from another planet hahaha!
I can see how you could be homesick for AZ. It took me way too long to finally get here, and now I cannot imagine being anywhere else. I am with you, I LOVE a good thunderstorm. This is one of the things that attracted me to AZ, was the monsoon season. Come and visit when you can, otherwise, stay tuned to my Arizona based channel!!!
I knew you guys got hammered. We were driving home from Sahuarita and headed into it just before turning into QC, but we were on the edge of the most intense area. We picked up 0.41 inches, so only a third of what you had (we have a weather station in the yard as well). Another person in QC with a station about a mile and a half from us and closer to you got a bit over 0.6 inches. You were right in the heaviest part. With the decent monsoon this year, we’ve almost caught up with where we should be year-to-date. We’re at 5.08 inches cumulative versus 5.5 inches as ‘normal’ average. Although like last year, the winter was very dry and monsoon is ahead of normal. July is about a half inch above average with hopefully more to come today yet.
I'll tell ya John, it sure felt like we were in the middle of that storm. In fact, I think I said something like that on the video. I am glad you guys got your .41, that is a hell of a lot better than nothing! Thanks for the info on the monsoon status, it is good to know that we are almost caught up to normal annual rainfall for this time in the year. I too am excited about the prospect of more rain this afternoon, we have to get it while we can!!!
Wow. That was a wicked storm. Awsome share 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🇺🇸
Thanks Bill! Yes, that one was particularly active storm. Glad you enjoyed watching the video!!!
I love your video! I'm West of La Canada and my backyard faces Camino Casa Verde. It's mostly taken up by an AZ room, so not very scenic, especially with the power lines, lol... Anyway, you got hit hard compared to my neighborhood, although apparently, a palm tree nearby was struck by lightning... This is my second summer here and I'll admit, I do not care for lengthy lightening storms and tonight was really wild! Thank you for sharing and have a great Sunday! Sincerely, Cecily L.
I know about where you are Cecily! I work part time at Green Valley Decorative Rock, and we have been watching new homes being built in your area for many months! I am glad the storm was not too bad in your area. Those palm trees seem to be a target for lightning strikes! We have a neighbor just down the street who lost a palm tree to a lightning strike a couple of years ago. We had some VERY close lightning strikes where the flash and thunder were pretty much at the same time! I totally agree that this was a short, but wild thunderstorm! Thanks for watching and leaving your comment!!!
Looks like lots of CGs!
Absolutely! I love it when we get a lot of CG action. It is very exciting to me.
Amazing storm! I’m glad you were in your house and not out on the roads in your car!
Yeah, that was a wild one Cat Bird! I am glad I was not out on the road too! Thanks for watching and your comment!
Ese día estábamos celebrando el cumpleaños de mi hija en una piscina del condominio y tuvimos que refugiarnos en el baño, era horrible la tormenta, gracias a Dios no hubo males mayores!
Por favor, dé a su hija un feliz cumpleaños tardío de mi parte. Lamento que tu celebración haya sido interrumpida. Sí, esta tormenta fue bastante mala, y me alegro de que no fuera peor de lo que era. También espero que las personas en el área no sufran ningún daño importante.
This is definitely a severe thunderstorm!
I completely agree Michael! This was a particularly nasty storm. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
Wow! You are so lucky the monsoon is being good to you.Here in El Paso we are lucky if we get a 10 minute light rain shower.My desert garden is crying for rain.i save the rainwater in buckets.That lighting is sharp.I love the sound of thunder. I always say thunder is the music to the soul of a cactus. I love your big saguaro in your yard.i have a saguaro in my backyard and it is 49 inches tall and 2 small saguaro in my front yard.
They had a bad storm in Nebraska and it did alot of damage to the home I own .Thank God I have insurance to take care of everything.
I listen to the drive a radio station in Tucson and it seems it rains alot.Could you send us at least a tea kettle of rain here? My desert garden would love it.
We have been fortunate to have a couple of good storms at my location recently. Previously we could see storms and rain all around, just not where I live. My prickly pear cactus were shriveling up. We had a dry winter and were way behind on rainfall until the past couple of weeks. Yeah, I love our big saguaro. It has several bird nests in it. I am sorry to hear about your home in Nebraska, but goad to hear that you had insurance to cover the damages. I truly hope that you get some meaningful rainfall soon there in El Paso!!!
Oh boy! You got a good one! We have been catching the tail end of it up here in So. UT and the thunder has cracked so loud I feel it in my gut lol! Makes you jump. Stay safe, take care! =)
I hear you! We had some very close lightning strikes and VERY loud thunder. After a while, I had to shut all doors and windows which muted the thunder, but it was still loud even when the house was closed up! You stay safe and take care as well!!!
How much rain fell from this storm?
How long did this thunderstorm take to develop ? Ill bet it was sunny earlier in the day. The monsoon is a couple months away lets hope its a good season.😀😀
Yes, it was hot and sunny earlier in the day, but it kept getting cloudier and darker over several hours, then this particular storm was born, and it was a nasty one! I am looking forward to monsoon 2024! I hope I get some good storms to share!!! Thanks for watching and your comment!
@@bartk85622 Your welcome thunderstorms are my thing. I like watching them develop.
A severe thunderstorm came through pheonix this evening
Hey Julie! It looks like monsoon season is delivering for everyone!!! Thanks for watching and your comment!
I live in Canoa Canyon Estates which, as you are, is on the West frontage road. We’re not in the house because of extensive damage from the hail/wind and rain event. We’re at the Canoa Ranch Resort and in a 3rd floor room with a balcony facing North east and West. It’s an amazing view. We’ve watched the storms of this week with awe and just a bit of dread since the house roof still leaks. Enjoyed your video. We shot the storm from here the other night. Are you in GV Camera Club?
While I do like a good storm Pam, I am sorry to hear that you home suffered extensive damage. Your view sounds amazing! Glad you enjoyed the video. I am not a member of GVR, so not in the camera club. It is just a hobby that I enjoy.
Those winds look like they're hitting 70-80 MPH. Looks like a hurricane.
That rainfall rate is the same we would get here in Illinois like some of the videos I posted recently. Wow. That is impressive for a desert. So awesome!
Thanks Jack! It was pretty wild for sure. I'll be visiting your channel soon! Thanks for watching and your comment!
⛈️⛈️⛈️⛈️⛈️⛈️11:00am
I am ready! Thanks for watching and your comment!
Is property damage common this time of year with the storms?
Yes and no Mia. When we get a lot of rain in a short time, the main damage is erosion, then secondarily, roof leaks, and sometime wind damage in the for of trees down, etc. A few weeks ago, we had a short hail storm that has caused major damage to homes in town with broken skylights, damaged roofs and damaged cars plus some downed trees. We do not get hail very often, especially not up to 2" hail. One other thing is that we occasionally see damage from lightning strikes. You can read about it here: www.gvnews.com/news/tree-goes-up-second-storm-delays-recovery/article_8599d564-11c4-11ed-9e15-f720004866d9.html
Lucky your swimming pool didn’t overflow 😅
You've got that right! That was one wild storm! Thanks for watching and your comment. I am looking forward to 2024 monsoon season in just a couple of months!
I LOVE THUNDERSTORMS WAS IT CLEAR IN THE MORNING IF IT WAS HOW LONG DID IT TAKE FOR
THIS THUNDERSTORM TO DEVELOP. ITS BEEN ACTIVE HERE AS WELL IN 2022 DURING THE MONSOON
IM IN THE MOJAVE DESERT NEAR VICTORVILLE.
We live in the Fairways near the Haven Golf course...we got an inch but the rain gauge is slightly slanted so not sure how accurate. I always think I should add at least a tenth, given that. But a nice rain for sure!
It actually looks like a hurricane.
Lots of CGs!
My favorite kind Michael! Thanks for watching and the comment! I am already looking forward to the next monsoon season and hoping it is MUCH better than the last one!
That looks like a hurricane
It kind of felt like one too Michael!!!
Awesome video, finally I was able to receive a thunderstorm too, nevertheless my garden is still yellow, but at least my plants have had a relief. You must know my woods on Prealps have become brown 2 months in advance. Like n°19
I've got 1,6 inches therefore 40,6mm ... pop up on my channel to watch my video about it :)
Wow 😮 is right -entertaining but probably a little frightening to ⛈
I found it to be pretty exciting, but my wife said it did scare her a bit. Thanks for watching and the comment!
We were going south on 19 at Rio Rico when we hit this ... we were able to get off highway PTL
That must have been scary! I am glad you got off the freeway safely. I am sorry, what does PTL mean?
@@bartk85622 yes it was so glad my son was driving ... PTL Praise The Lord
@@lisainAZ I am very glad that you and your family are safe. "Praise The Lord" would be a very appropriate thing to say and/or think in that situation!!!
That doesn't look like Arizona, it looks like Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
A little late to the party, but around 225 time stamp it looks like the face of a dog or coyote. Creepy.
Yeah! I had not noticed it before, but it is kind of creepy!!!
This almost looks like a derecho.
Lots of CGs
My favorite!

Thank you for watching and your comment!
I'm gonna guess that you are a Scorpio.
Good guess, but actually a Gemini/Cancer (June 21st birthday). What made you think Scorpio????
@@bartk85622 because you looked like a Scorpio to me. Your actual a Cancer-Gemini cusp.
@@austinstitzel Wait a minute! Look like a scorpio? I take great pains not to show myself in my videos (I do not want to damage my camera equipment ;-) So did I show myself somewhere???
Here in Southern California, we get storms like this in the winter, usually in January and February during El Nino.
Lots of CGs
I love the CG's and am really happy when I can capture then to share on my channel! Thank you for watching and all of your comments, I really appreciate it!
Lots of CGs
Thank you for watching and commenting on this one too Michael! Yes, lots of CGs. I try to capture them where possible. I have several videos of just lightning where I play them in real time, then in slow motion. I hope you enjoy those if you choose to find and watch them.
