Millions of people unaccustomed to heavy rain were drenched Tuesday by the remnants of Tropical Depression Rosa.
The National Weather Service in Phoenix said that city had its eighth-wettest day ever with 2.36 inches of rain.
Sandra Kotzambasis posted a video on Twitter that showed cars driving through north Phoenix with several inches of water covering the road.
"This is what I discovered as I tried to get to work," she wrote. " 'Lake Tatum,' just north of Shea (Boulevard). Needless to say, I am working from home today."
