🚨 Las Vegas Flash Floods | Deadly Flooding Hits Henderson, the Strip & Bullhead City
“October 2026 turned into one of the wettest months Las Vegas has ever seen. The remnants of Rachel tied the city’s wettest October day on record on October 11 and sent water through the LINQ parking garage near the Strip. On Friday, October 30, flash flooding turned deadly in Henderson, where a person swept into a flood channel near Lake Mead Parkway died and four people in total were pulled from floodwater, while ping-pong-ball-sized hail fell east of downtown and cars were stranded in East Las Vegas. The same afternoon, Bullhead City and Laughlin were under a life-threatening flash flood warning, and on Halloween night new warnings hit the north and northwest valley. Las Vegas finished October with 1.31 inches of rain, the second-wettest October on record. In this video: the full timeline, every confirmed rescue, the hail, the final rainfall numbers, why Las Vegas floods so fast, how the valley’s flood channel system works, and what comes next. Stay safe: Turn around, don’t drown. Stay out of washes and flood channels.
