We certainly do, although not many. Peak season is in the spring. I have
seen several here in Maricopa county. A very damaging F-3 tornado struck
Paradise Valley in 1972 (before I lived here). Another suspected hot spot
is E of Flagstaff in the Mogollon Rim Convergence Zone.
Go to the NWS Phoenix web page, look at climatology, look at the online
publication "Climatology of Phoenix" and there is a listing of quite a
number of tornado events with descriptions.
