    3. Once again we are having severe weather. We have had high winds and rain since about 1 this afternoon, with winds reaching gusts of 75 miles per hour. There is a tornado watch in effect for an area that reaches from Phoenix to Tucson. The tornado hit in California near the Arizona border earlier today, causing 18 wheelers to be overturned and downed power lines. Oak Creek Canyon, near Sedona where we vacation every summer has been evacuated because of the possibility of flooding. At this time the tornado watch is for an area that ends about 75 miles from us, but it is possible for the tornado possibility to move our way. They are predicting heavy snowfall down to 7,000 feet tonight and down to 3,000 feet tomorrow night. We are at 4,600 feet, so we may see some of that. Interstate 40 in northern AZ is closed as well as Interstate 17 around the Flagstaff area. The Governor has declared a state of emergency for the entire state.
