[Smjh1979]

This covers La Paz, Yuma, Pinal and Maricopa counties, including Wickenburg, and the Phoenix areas. It even goes back into California, where at the time of this post, Blythe is under a Tornado Warning.

This is very rare to be issued for Arizona, as the last Tornado Watch for anywhere in Arizona was issued back in 1997.

North Central and East Central Maricopa County was issued a Tornado Warning around 8:30pm... Scottsdale and Camp Verde got some nasty damage... There were reports of a touchdown... National Weather Service will be out in the morning to decipher... Lots of roads got closed due to damage and debris in roads from high winds...
