Last night’s monsoons brought a heavy cell to the City of Maricopa. Rain, thunder lightning and wind, lots of wind, came through the area in the late afternoon, early evening. Maricopans woke up to downed trees, a damaged roof at the new library and even a bent flag pole. One of the larger trees that fell was at the city’s Pacana Park. Pecan trees were snapped like twigs and one full sized tree crashed through a neighbor’s back yard fence, causing extensive damage to the back fence.     |

Those pecan trees are dead anyway. Surprised more of them haven't gone down.

Why hadn't the city removed them before now? |

Why hadn't the city removed them before now? Good question... There was another group of them along Honeycutt that suffered the same fate and the Glennwilde HOA took them out about a year ago. |

Howard made the big time again... Channel 5 and 15 ran his photos (I always watch the news on at least two stations to make sure nobody's lying).

How do you know they're not both lying? |

I had to spend that morning on the phone with Qwest as well, figuring out why the wireless signal dropped in our house. Only took an hour to get it working again though.
Also, I think the storm fried the wireless adapter on our Roku set-top box...it won't detect any networks in our house/area so I think it got bricked by a power surge somehow.

Yeah when the power started flickering, I shut everything down. Got it all off just in time.

What is odd is the power flickered and everything came back on and started working again just fine. Did it storm more during the night? It must have, because it was only when we woke up the next morning that everything was fried.

Probably a stupid question, but some people forget the simple things.
Did you unplug everything, leave it unplugged a couple of minutes then plug in again?? I had to do that with my router after the storm (and have to do it from time to time).

The world would be a nicer place if everyone took a chill pill.
It would get even better is some just choked on it.
