A slow moving, and very strong winter storm moved through south-central Arizona starting on February 21st, and in addition to heavy desert rain and mountain snow, the storm produced conditions favorable for thunderstorms during the afternoon hours. Isolated strong storms formed in the early afternoon over portions of the greater Phoenix area and one of the stronger ones impacted the town of Tolleson. According to a report from the public, at 1245MST gusty thunderstorm winds up to 65 mph snapped several Palo Verde trees in half and uprooted one of the larger trees. This occurred about 2 miles to the northwest of Tolleson. In addition, the winds bent over a street sign and damaged a sign at the local Honda dealership. At the same time, about 1 mile northwest of the town, the strong winds downed multiple Salt River Project power poles. No injuries were reported due to the damage. A Severe Thunderstorm Warning was not in effect at the time of the damage.
