Event narrative (NOAA)
A severe thunderstorm moved into the far northern part of the city of Casa Grande, and overturned a mobile home which pinned a small child underneath. The little girl later died of her injuries. The very strong thunderstorm winds also downed power lines and blew down a medium-size pine tree. Heavy rains also flooded part of Interstate 10 near mile post 190, and a subdivision had to be cordoned off due to high waters. (F03M)
