Shocking Images Of Flash Floods SLAMMING Las Vegas
“Flash floods just put a man on a rope in a storm tunnel under Las Vegas, trapped a driver in two feet of water at the edge of the interstate in Henderson, and dropped hail on Sahara Avenue. And the city that needed the rope team got a quarter of an inch of rain. The real storm hit 90 miles south — nearly four inches on Bullhead City, Laughlin’s casino front under water, a “life threatening” warning for Kingman — and the 45 rescuers Las Vegas keeps for its own floods were already 600 miles away in New Mexico when the rain arrived. The number under all of it is a quarter of an inch. IN THIS VIDEO • Twain and Eastern, 10:04 PM: the rope rescue, minute by minute — and why the rope bags could not reach him • The valley’s real rainfall: 0.23 in at Harry Reid, 0.75 at the highest gauge, and where the nine flash flood warnings were actually drawn • A city that had ZERO rain in July (one of 15 such months in 89 years), 115°F on August 1, and 0.69 inches for the year by Labor Day • The system: 100 detention basins, 700+ miles of channels, three basins over 15 feet deep Monday night — “it captures that and debris and slowly releases it overnight” • Nevada Task Force 1: 45 rescuers and their boats sent to New Mexico Monday morning, the only one of 28 federal teams activated — and out of the city when the city needed a rope • The plume: Bullhead City 3.91 inches, Laughlin’s casino front under water, the Kingman “life threatening” warning, a New Mexico dam at imminent failure, and an all-time record in Lincoln, Nebraska • What comes next: the basins draining, the parks closed in Bullhead City, Hurricane Rachel offshore SOURCES News 3 Las Vegas (Sept 29) · Hoodline citing KLAS 8 News Now (Sept 28–29) · KTNV (Sept 28) · Las Vegas Review-Journal (Sept 28–29) · Las Vegas Sun (Sept 28) · National Weather Service Las Vegas (flash flood warnings, Sept 28–29) · Clark County Regional Flood Control District (Brian Rowley) · Clark County Fire Department (Brian O’Neal) · TechTimes (Aug 31, 2026 monsoon report) · weather.com (Sept 30–Oct 1) · AccuWeather via Yahoo (Sept 29) · KLAS / FOX 5 Vegas (Bullhead City, Sept 29) · National Hurricane Center (Rachel) · KANW (Sept 29) Crisis Radar covers the water, the ground and the structures Americans live on top of.
