Breaking News: Search Underway for Missing Worker After Phoenix Microburst

Phoenix, AZ - July 25, 2024

A search is underway for a missing worker after a microburst hit a commercial building in Phoenix on Wednesday night. The powerful thunderstorms, part of the monsoon season, caused the building’s roof and back side to collapse just around 9:30 PM local time.

Phoenix Fire Department crews were dispatched to the scene near 47th Avenue shortly after 9 PM. Upon arrival, they were informed that one warehouse employee remained unaccounted for. Due to the instability of the building, firefighters have not yet been able to enter the structure, and recovery efforts are scheduled to resume Thursday morning.

The local community remains on edge as rescue crews continue their search. Further updates will be provided as the situation develops.
