'It turned a weird hazy orange, got super quiet, and then it started and it hit like a freight train. I mean, it sounded like a bullet coming through your house,' resident Chris Sanders said.
TUCSON, Ariz. — In Tucson, hundreds of residents spent Saturday cleaning up and assessing damages caused by strong monsoons that tore through the city on Friday afternoon."It sounded like a tornado coming," said Chris Sanders, a resident at Langley Garden Condos.
"It turned a weird hazy orange, got super quiet, and then it started and it hit like a freight train," he said."I mean, it sounded like a bullet coming through your house." "I stepped around the corner, I saw the other three trees that were down so I immediately got a jacket and a hat and I went down to make sure everybody else was okay," Sanders recalled.
"Just last week I was off of it because I had broken some parts in it, so that kind of hit me financially, and now this," Vargas explained.
