Rare tornadoes go through Northern parts of Arizona

Early Wednesday morning, a group of four tornadoes swept through Northern Arizona. It is very rare for this part of the country to experience a cluster of tornadoes causing this much damage. According to the article, people thought to get to their basements from all the tornado movies they have watched. However, houses in Arizona do not have basements. This is exemplifies how rare these tornadoes really are. In the article, a meteorologist said that usually this area has only a couple of tornado warning around this time of the year. On Wednesday there were 22 warnings! This storm system moving across the region has also been causing damage in other parts of the southwest.
