A violent summer monsoon storm hit Phoenix Sky Harbor Sunday evening around 9pm and already has caused millions of dollars in damage. At least five commercial aircraft were damaged..including several parked aircraft that were pushed 40 feet by the wind. In addition to losing power at Terminals 2 & 3, numerous private and corporate aircraft were damaged by wind gusts that exceeded 75mph during the ninety minute storm. Many cargo containers were uplifted by the high winds and damaged vehicles in long term parking lots. The north runway, longest at Sky Harbor, is scheduled to reopen late Monday afternoon after airport crews remove over an inch of dirt and gravel deposited from the storm. In the meantime take offs and landings, which because of runway separation cannot be done simultaneously, are limited to the two south runways. Airport officials say it may take an additional two days to reroute passengers affected by last night's storm and loss of the north runway. Rainfall amounted to two inches, which represents 1.9 inches of the current year to date amount! RT Simpson Phoenix
