The storms have finally arrived

Menacing monsoons have threatened the valley for several weeks, but last night they finally struck. Tree services in Gilbert and other towns throughout the valley are hopping to get to all of the tree damage caused by high winds coupled with a little bit of rain. Although Gilbert only got a quarter inch of rain, which is not a lot by any measurement, the accompanying wind helped to maximize the storm's destruction. Storms are supposed to continue through Monday night.
