Monsoon Hits East Mesa Hard | Phoenix News
A wild monsoon slammed into Metro Phoenix on September 16, dousing east Mesa with nearly four inches of rain in minutes—causing catastrophic flooding, shuttering Mesa Community College’s Red Mountain campus, and turning streets into rivers. Police directed traffic through submerged intersections, while one parking lot at Higley and Brown saw cars nearly swallowed—though one driver walked away unscathed. Officials scramble to assess damage as the storm serves as a brutal wake-up call: monsoon season isn’t just rain—it’s raw, rapid, and ready to disrupt everything in its path.
