Thunderstorms developed across the northern portion of Maricopa county, to the north of the greater Phoenix area, during the evening hours on August 25th. One of the areas affected the most by the storms was the community of Wickenburg. The stronger storms generated damaging outflow winds and locally heavy rainfall with peak rain rates well in excess of one inch per hour. The heavy rain led to flash flooding in Wickenburg; numerous homes were flooded at the Desert Cypress Mobile Home and RV park
