  2. A Phoenix couple is reporting that construction work near I-17 and Thunderbird Road is damaging their home. The construction is meant to help clear rainwater by improving drainage. The couple's home is reportedly rattling from the construction work — even causing a giant hole in their garage ceiling. The project is slated for completion by the end of 2023. (Arizona's Family)
  3. A Phoenix three-year-old girl is in critical condition after being rescued from a pool. The Phoenix Fire Department responded to the pool where family members were already performing CPR.
