Fox 10 News Excerpt — Local perspective:

Tree service crews have been working around the clock since the storm hit. Ethan Fish, a crew lead at B&C Tree Service, said his team was in the Brittany Lane community within an hour of the microburst and has been there for four straight days.

"It's been crazy," Fish said. "We've been out here every day since."

Crews estimate between 75 and 100 trees were lost in the Brittany Lane community alone. Neighbors documented the aftermath, which included flooding, property damage, and trees snapped like twigs, with one resident comparing the severity of the storm to a hurricane.

B&C crews expect to finish clearing the Brittany Lane neighborhood within two more days before moving on to other hundreds of downed trees across Tempe.
