    TUCSON, Arizona (KGUN) — The wall of an Auto Zone was blown off the side of the store on Prince and Fairview after monsoon storms Sunday evening.

The site became an attraction for people who lived near by.

“I’ve never seen anything like that in Tucson. I’ve lived here 31 years,” one man said.

Security was at the store to make sure no one took anything as car parts were exposed to the outside.

On Speedway, intense flooding led to multiple cars getting stuck in an underpass just east of I-10.

Drivers of SUVs and trucks decided to plow through the water as others turned around.

Some Tucsonans who were on their way to get ice cream decided to park on the overpass and watch it all unfold.

“They’re brave, very brave. I would not,” they said.

Driving through high water is very dangerous. It can also cause damage to cars.

As of 11 p.m. Sunday the underpass on Speedway just off of I-10 was still flooded and now closed to drivers.
