However, this storm produced heavy precipitation resulting in a flash flood as well as strong winds. Most of the wind damage resulted in uprooted trees. More than 2.0 inches of rainfall occurred in less than one hours. There were several stranded vehicles and swift water rescues, reported by Bisbee dispatch. On Wilcox Drive, a business had more than 4 inches of water through the parking lot
