I'm at Riggs and Gilbert. Thought my trees were going to end up on my house, but I didn't lose power.

I had the wind blowing like crazy at my house. The lights flickered a few times and thought that we were gonna loose power in that area but never totally did.

i was at CB scion when the storm hit, awesome lightning storm at CB and on the way home on the freeway. The sewers were flooded by my house so they had cops blocking the road in front of a manhole cover cuz it was off and tons of water was coming up. We lost power in my area a bit AND our house got a little flooded by water coming in the windows by the kitchen, luckily that was the tiled area so it was cleaned up and no damage.
