From keep trees safe from toppling to safety on the road, experts are offering advice for Arizonans as a new monsoon season begins for Arizona.
For longtime Arizonans, monsoon weather is nothing new. With the season now underway, people across the state are getting ready for storms that bring rain and heavy winds.June 15 is the start of the Monsoon season for Arizona, and while there are no storms on June 15, they are coming, and FOX 10's Danielle Miller spoke with a tree expert on what people can do to make sure their trees will not be toppled by storms.
Aragon says it is not too late to get trees prepped for the monsoon season. He says the best thing to do to prevent damage due to high winds is get rid of the tip weight. "You don't want the wind to catch all the weight, and that's when you get trees that are splitting," said Aragon. "You take every other limb out. Not large limbs, smaller limbs. You don’t want to make big holes in the tree, you just want to thin it out.""Go under it, look up at the sky. If you can’t see blue sky, you probably should get it trimmed," said Aragon.
ADOT officials say some people think they might have to turn on their hazard lights when a dust storm hits while they are on the road, but officials say people should not turn them on. As for detecting dust storms, ADOT installed a ten-mile detection system four years ago on Interstate 10, between Eloy and Picacho Peak.
"It's one of the hazards of the monsoon," said Groff. "You can have 23 inches of rain come down. When you see water in the road and don’t know how deep it is, assume that it’s not safe to cross."Arizona Monsoon 2023: What to expect this summer
