Arizona cannot get hurricanes as it is too far from the ocean and is too wamr to experience blizzards. Tornadoes have ocurred in Arizona, but they are usually weak and short-lived, and do not cause major damage. Only three people in Arizona have been killed by tornadoes in the past 60 years.

Are blizzards a threat to Arizona?

Blizzards are generally not a significant threat to Arizona, as the state has a predominantly warm climate.
