Phoenix-area storm: Lots of thunder, little rain

Phoenix-area storm: Lots of thunder, little rain: "The storm that moved through the Valley Friday night brought plenty of thunder and spectacular lightening, but it didn't leave much in the way of rain.

The National Weather Service in Phoenix said just a trace of rain was reported at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Rainfall totals were higher in some areas including east Mesa, which recorded just over a half-inch and Chandler, which received a quarter inch. On average, the Valley received two-tenths of an inch of precipitation, said Mike McLane, National Weather Service meteorologist.

Larger amounts fell in Tucson, where stronger storm cells lead to three-quarters of an inch of rain."
