Halloween Storm Is Drowning the Las Vegas Desert as 4 Million Face Floods — And Nobody Can Stop It

“Halloween Storm Is Drowning the Las Vegas Desert as 4 Million Face Floods — And Nobody Can Stop It Las Vegas gets about four inches of rain in a whole year.

And that was only the first wave. Discover why a modern desert city floods on a single inch of rain, how the Las Vegas Wash became the drain for an entire valley, and why one Strip parking garage was built to let floodwater run straight through it. Follow the remnants of Hurricane Vance as a level three atmospheric river pushes toward 35 states, and find out whether all this water can actually help a near-record-low Lake Mead.
