Phoenix, AZ, July 21, 2026 —
Monsoon storms swept through the Globe-Miami area of Arizona, resulting in significant flooding that inundated low-water crossings and left some rural communities isolated. The intense weather also produced a funnel cloud, though it did not make contact with the ground.
The flooding impacted transportation routes, with low-water crossings becoming impassable due to the deluge. This led to the isolation of several rural communities in the region. While the severe weather did cause an ATV to be swept away, authorities reported that no injuries occurred as a result of the flooding or associated incidents.
Officials noted that the extent of the flooding this year was less severe compared to the previous year’s monsoon season. The specific duration of the flooding and the exact number of communities affected were not provided.
The funnel cloud sighting added to the dramatic weather event, but its lack of touchdown meant it did not directly cause any damage or injuries.
