Costly Property Damage Caused by Arizona’s Monsoon Season

Powerful thunderstorms, dust storms, heatwaves, lightning, wildfires, hail and flash floods are all a common occurrence for residents of Arizona during the monsoon season.  In fact, the 3 ½ months that make up the monsoon season typically brings about half of the region’s annual rainfall.

With a month left to go before the official end of the monsoon season, the powerful storms associated with this annual event have already caused extensive property damage in some areas.  According to the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety, since 1995, the monsoon season has caused an average of 10 deaths, 60 injuries and tens of millions of dollars in damages each year.

“The Arizona monsoon season causes some of the most intense localized property damage that we see all year long,” said Douglas Waldie, President of Hudson Douglas Public Adjusters, LLC.  “The storms associated with this time of year can devastate a neighborhood while leaving another just a half mile away untouched.”
