The DESERT Is DROWNING! — Halloween Storm SLAMS Las Vegas as 4 MILLION Face Flood Danger

“Las Vegas just got hit by a Halloween storm that turned streets into rivers, shut down flights at Harry Reid Airport, and forced rescues in Henderson, all after a single afternoon of rain that equals about a quarter of a normal year. Now more than 4 million people in the Southwest face a level 3 of 4 flood threat as an atmospheric river pushes toward Phoenix, Flagstaff, and the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. In this video, we break down what happened and why the desert floods so fast. We cover the Las Vegas Wash, the flood control basins, the Linq parking garage built to let flood water pass through, and the history of deadly Las Vegas floods. We also look at Lake Mead at record low levels and answer the big question: will this storm actually help the lake, or is it all danger and almost no water?
