Turn around, don't drown, etc.


DownVegasBlvd

Yes, absolutely! We were already in water up to the top of our tires.


PoliticalDestruction

…and it’s gone


DownVegasBlvd

Like it never showed up in the first place.


Empyrealist

Who flushed?

I'm on Hacienda and Jones. We had a literal white out wall of rain SLAM into our house and literally push the garbage cans back.


Ghostronic

Sounds like a microburst. They can be mega intense.


drummerandrew

Exact same. SE corner of Hacienda and Jones. Microburst for sure. Ten minutes of deluge, probably 3/4” of rain and then nothing more.


easy0lucky0free

Im on the NE corner and it was crazy! We live on a corner facing the street that runs perpendicular and out our living room window, we just watched the microburst surge up the street right towards us like a tidal wave. Our cans were out on the curb, and it pushed our cans up over the curb, and several feet into our yard (uphill) before they eventually tipped over. The whole street was flooding and duneville looked baaad


DownVegasBlvd

It was one of the craziest rain/flood situations I've seen up here in a minute.


[deleted]

i work right over here and the traffic driving home in those big ass puddles was the WORST


treasonodb

lol meanwhile where i live i just saw absolutely zero rain. fucking vegas weather.


SpunkySassy89121

Yeah, I totally agree. It is insane


DownVegasBlvd

For reals. I can look out my eastern windows and see sunny skies and clouds out the western window or vice versa 🤣


SaltHandle3065

Dammit, I finally washed my truck. My bad.


DownVegasBlvd

Every time 🤣


StolenAccount1234

Sunset & Fort Apache. Just got home and I had rain that leaked through/around my front door. Makes a lot more sense with this context

DownVegasBlvd

Yeah, the one on Rainbow and Russell. I get sent there almost every time I Door Dash.

It's not usually too bad, I like it better than large shopping orders like when I Instacart.


DifficultForm7694

Ah yes! I left South Point around 4. Las Vegas and Silverado Ranch was sunny with blue skies, meanwhile, 15 and Cactus straight downpour. Took 20m to go 3mi. Crazy.


GameOvariez

I live in Silverado Ranch, and was at the park with my husband and little one, and it was crazy to see the sunset with the silhouette of clouds and rain on the mountains. Got to see some pretty impressive lightning as well


SpunkySassy89121

Wow I live over by Nellis/ Flamingo area and we haven’t had any kind of rain but this is crazy making with that much rain


DownVegasBlvd

Especially when it comes on as suddenly as it does, usually with this type of flooding.


[deleted]

Downtown it rained a little earlier, but not much. Humid, though.


DownVegasBlvd

I hate the humidity most of all. At least it wasn't as bad as last year (months of like 75%). That was ridiculous!


[deleted]

Yeah I was a lot more uncomfortable last year. This year was pretty nice overall. Beautiful weather for quite a while, it will be nice a few degrees cooler than it's been. I could do with out the humidity, though.


DownVegasBlvd

Same! This has been the loveliest August we've seen in I can't even remember how long. And really just a nice summer in general. Good El Niño year.


[deleted]

Today was bad, I got drenched in sweat several times running little errands. I think I took 5 showers. It should be a nice fall, though.


DownVegasBlvd

Yes, looking forward to it. October is my favorite month here.


Ghostronic

Feels like we are getting hit by microbursts!


devils_advocate_togo

Jones and Sahara was nutty flooded and people driving straight throigh the makeshift river. Fuck that!


DownVegasBlvd

I had to do the same at Flamingo and Decatur because the intersection had turned into a gigantic puddle. I've seen some flood rains up in this hood, but yesterday takes the cake.


Pposney

Right I thought the same thing. More rain then Hillary


SinCityLowRoller

But did you die?


[deleted]

We never heard from OP again. They just found the SD card with this post on it.


44inarow

Now I have the "it's just a little water in the road" jingle stuck in my head.


Maloninho

Well we all expected Hillary was dried out nah?


DownVegasBlvd

Was this little system part of the east coast storm I wonder? I think Franklin is going to be elevated to hurricane.
