🚨 Las Vegas Flash Floods | Deadly Henderson Flood, Hail on the Strip & Wettest October in Decades

“October 2026 turned into one of the wettest and most dangerous months Las Vegas has ever seen. On Friday, October 30, 2026, violent storms triggered flash flood warnings for Henderson, Lake Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Strip, Fremont Street, North Las Vegas and UNLV. Ping-pong-ball-sized hail fell near Sahara and Maryland Parkway, lightning forced a ground stop at Harry Reid International Airport, thousands lost power including the Neon Museum, and in Henderson one person swept into a flood channel near Lake Mead Parkway died. One day later, new flash flood warnings hit North Las Vegas, Centennial Hills, Aliante and Summerlin on Halloween night. It all came three weeks after the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel dropped 1.08 inches on October 11, tying the wettest October day in Las Vegas history (1947). Las Vegas finished October with 1.31 inches at the airport — the 2nd wettest October on record, behind 2005 (NWS via Las Vegas Review-Journal, preliminary). In this video: Rachel’s record rain, why the desert floods so fast, the Oct 30 warnings hour by hour, the Henderson rescues, flooding on the Strip and in East Las Vegas, Bullhead City and Laughlin, Halloween night, the wider Southwest floods, the cleanup, the record numbers, flood safety and what’s next.
