PHOENIX — Tempe Mayor Corey Woods is planning to sign a state of emergency for his city on Wednesday, following a devastating microburst that blasted through the city on Monday.

Woods said it was the worst storm he’s seen in the town since he moved there and that many residents are traumatized by the destruction.

“We have a lot of residents in Tempe who are very much traumatized by the situation. So we are doing everything we can to assist them during what is a very, very challenging time,” Woods said on Outspoken with Bruce & Gaydos.

“It was a substantial amount of damage, frankly, to homes and trees and just sort of the overall landscape. So it’s going to take some time to really restore everything to where it was before.”
