LAS VEGAS UNDERWATER – Flash Floods Hit Nevada, Roads Closed Across the Valley

“A powerful flash flood struck Las Vegas and surrounding parts of Clark County during the early hours of October 11, 2026, after deep tropical moisture from the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel moved into Southern Nevada and triggered intense overnight rainfall. Heavy rain developed across the Las Vegas Valley before sunrise, quickly overwhelming streets, intersections, storm channels and normally dry washes. The National Weather Service issued a Flash Flood Warning for west-central Clark County after radar estimated between 1.5 and 3 inches of rain had fallen in the warned area. Some of the most dramatic flooding occurred near the Las Vegas Strip. Roads behind the LINQ Hotel and areas near the LINQ Promenade were covered by fast-moving water, while nearby streets were closed as crews worked to clear mud and debris. Koval Lane and Winnick Avenue were among the roads temporarily shut down. Rainfall totals varied sharply across the valley. Harry Reid International Airport recorded around 0.75 inches from the system, making it the wettest day there in more than a year, while some gauges around Centennial Hills measured more than 2.5 inches. The event also tied an all-time daily October rainfall record in Las Vegas, with 1.08 inches reported during the storm. The combination of tropical moisture, heavy thunderstorms and the desert landscape created rapid runoff and dangerous flooding across low-lying areas. Strong winds accompanied the storm, and power lines were reported down in parts of North Las Vegas. Crews continued clearing debris and reopening roads through Sunday as the heaviest rainfall moved away from the city. 📍 **LOCATION** Las Vegas, Nevada, United States – Las Vegas Strip – Clark County – North Las Vegas – Centennial Hills – Summerlin – Spring Valley – Paradise – Fremont Street – Harry Reid International Airport – LINQ Promenade 📅 **DATE** October 11, 2026 🕒 **MAIN IMPACT PERIOD** Early morning of October 11 — heavy rain intensifies across the Las Vegas Valley, producing widespread urban flooding and rapidly rising water in streets, washes and drainage channels.
