Event narrative (NOAA)
Major flash flooding affected much of the Las Vegas Valley. Numerous roads were closed due to water, mud, and rocks; and several people had to be rescued from vehicles. Many vehicles in parking lots were submerged in muddy water. Many homes, condos, and businesses flooded, and three dogs drowned in one home. Water got into buildings on the UNLV campus as well as a middle school and the MGM Grand Garden Arena. One landscaper died when flood waters swept him off his front-end loader.
