I'm closer to I-17.

There are typically 30-40 days of rain here each year, but about 28 of
them are storm days, and we don't have anything close to the drainage
capacity that a place like Chicago does. The last big floods here
occurred in the 1980s, when 100-year floods occurred two years in a
row and wiped out all the bridges across the Salt River, except for
one in Tempe built in the 1930s as a New Deal make-work project.
