I think people in that area are just happy it’s raining.
yup they need more of this rain to ease the severe drought
Rain hardly does anything to the drought. It can briefly help the plant life, but to help the people we need snow pack in the Colorado mountains.
Too much rain too fast and most of it just runs off the land. Taking your car and house with it.
@@hmnanda As long as it's going into Lake Mead, which I don't know that it is.
@@seeharvester its been raining upstream of the colorado river from lake mead. Likely still not nearly enough to reverse the low levels hence why they need more of it
I wish we could have some of that rain here in LA😢… Congratulations 🎉 Vegas!
That rain ain't gonna stay there, there's nothing to keep it there. It will be gone as soon as it stops coming down
Don't worry where I live in Nowhere Canada we haven't seen rain in 3 months, it has all been straight up unbearable heat
Right? I’d love to see some in Utah as well
Pray and ask God for rain.
"WE NEED WATER!"

"THAT'S NOT WHAT WE MEANT"
That rainstorm brought Lake Mead up .04 inch, briefly.
lol
“We” were delighted by the rainstorm. And the majority of us were entertained by the flood videos (although hoping no one was killed). As with every event, the Clark County rapid water rescue unit was kept busy saving the idiots.
@@ERAforALL .04 inch is nothing. Kinda sad ppl r getting excited over this teeny downpour, lol.
Hopefully that's going into Lake Mead!
Rain water in Vegas doesn’t help lake mead.

I’m currently a meteorology student and all of this was news decades ago. Data doesn’t lie when taken consistently and taken accurately. Basically climate change is an immovable object traveling at an unstoppable speed. We’ve been headed down this road for a long time and nothing is gonna get any better despite whatever governments decide to finally “do something”, but what that really means is humans would have no choice but to adapt to survive on a planet that’s changing beyond the control of ignorant apes like ourselves. No matter the road taken, floods persist.
especially with the solar cycle getting more intense
i live in vegas and was thinking of buying a new car, but after reading this looks like i should invest in a boat

Hold crap David! You're in school right now and not being indoctrinated by delusional liberals? Good for you man!
my prayers are with the underground people of las vegas i hope they could make it out in time and they’re safe
The rats will be fine.
God bless nature
@@chrundlethegreat1960 There are homeless people living in the underground infrastructure of Las Vegas.
Me, too. I bought a half dozen solar flashlights with radios, and sent them with homeless advocates to distribute to some of the tunnel people, hoping they might have some forewarning this year.
The water doesn't bother lizardmen
wow. you'd never think of storms and flooding like that in vegas.
The Clark County Fire Department has had a rapid water rescue unit for decades, specifically for these floods.
Climate change will do that for you
Quite normal. Any hurricanes in the Pacific near Mexico come up and drop rain on Arizona and Las Vegas.
They get really bad when it does flood too
Look up miracle mile flooding.
They called 1000yr flood
We've been passing new water conserving laws, adding/upgrading flood channels.
NV uses least amount of water from the lake.
Look at neighboring states and how much they have used....
i liked when they zoomed into the rain coming through the light
I thought that was one of those Vegas water features. Like the Bellagio.
that ceiling looked like it was fixing to bust out
that's why our fire department had close to 400 calls this night, it starts raining here in Vegas and people get stupid
Lake Mead definitely needed this rain! I hope everyone is safe out there also.. 🙏🏽
Wonder how much this will all affect Lake Mead ?
@@joevicario9815 maybe a few more gallons of water! It’s been drying up lately water level’s are low there.

I mean the las vegas people should be jumping for joy since they have been in a drought emergency for the last couple months rain downfall like this can help their water supply greatly
Not with all that trash in the water 😂
Does water flow south? I've always believed this.

Dang guys it’s a joke lol
The properties around Linq hotel and Flamingo are always prone to flooding. I remember growing up in Vegas, we'd avoid that place during the rainy days just because of flooding.
😅😅😅😅

I am very worried about all of those trying to survive underground in Vegas. This is extremely upsetting
Dig UP!!!
Not worried about your use of FOSSIL FUEL? .... got it!
Hopefully they had common sense not to be in those flood control areas when there is heavy rains.
Lol u mean the crack heads?
Hopefully they will all get washed away. They can take their meth with them.
Unpredictable weather patterns and unstable jet streams are a feature of climate change. Extreme weather is going to become a regular part of life.
It's the end times
Unpredictable? This is simply the annual summer monsoon season (although last year, it did bypass Las Vegas).
Monsoon has always been an unpredictable weather pattern. More to do with La Nina/El Nino years than anything.
@@ERAforALL The US southwest is experiencing the longest drought in 1,200 years. I would call that extreme. Every degree the Earth's atmosphere goes up in temperature the atmosphere holds 7% more moisture. So does climate change make it rain? No. It makes these weather systems much more punishing. Look at Kentucky's flooding or California's wild fires. Yes human activity is playing a major role in all this.
@@ERAforALL ameature meteorologist here, talking like they’ve got the puzzle solved that debunks 50 years of climate research, acting climate and weather phenomenon are the same thing: acting like professional meteorologist predict weather within a 50 percentile margin of error after 10 days in the first place. Get a grip of reality and listen to the science
I flew out of Vegas at 2:35 on Thursday. A friend texted me Friday with links to the videos. Wow! I got out of there just in time. Stayed at Caesar’s and we were thinking about staying another day but didn’t
Lucky phuck
I hope the homeless living down there are okay.
Part of the problem is that there is no soil ground for the water to drain into. It's all concrete and black top.
Look up the Las Vegas Wash Wetlands Park.
Did they not think it wouldn't rain in the desert
I lived in las wages for 5 years and yup that is Mother Nature at her best
No this is climate change get use to it I guess
Mother Nature is handling her "bizness." Nothing we can do about it. ⚡🌧⚡
I don’t think anywhere is safe from natural disasters anymore….even a desert.🙁
well, indeed, an ice cream or a cupcake is not immune from natural disasters
Clark County, Nevada has a rapid rescue unit. A valley is basically a bowl. Water runs down the sides, gaining momentum (6 inches deep rapid water can sweep a man off his feet; 12 inches can take out a car). There are natural washes running through Las Vegas; the Linq (formerly Imperial Palace) sits at the edge of one. The parking garage flooding shown there has happened for DECADES. Even with the huge number of man made retention basins, channels, and tunnels, it still turns into a raging river. Homeless people live in those tunnels; some of the remains being found at Lake Mead may well be some of them.
God bless nature
This kind of thing happens all the time during monsoon season.
Arizona has a monsoon season around this time of year, every year occasionally it spills over to Nevada and other neighboring states
Its so hard to wrap my head around the idea of flooding in a desert state. Nevada is one of the driest places I have ever been to in my life.
It's dry most of the year, but tends to get hit hard by monsoon season. When the ground has been so dry for so long, the water doesn't easily soak into the ground, so a huge storm to kick things off really creates a mess
It's only hard to wrap your head around flooding in the desert because you are not educated about deserts, including Nevada. Flash flooding is normal and common in the desert, especially during monsoon season, June thru September. Nevada gets snow in the winter as well.
0:51 my man contemplating his choices LMAO
To ALL my OLD FRIENDS AND FAMILY I pray 🙏 that ALL is well with you and you didn't get hurt at property damage.
AMEN
While entertaining to watch, this event is a nothing flood compared to what Las Vegas used to get, before it created flood channels and retention basins. Not to mention the valley used to get a lot more summer monsoon rains. In past decades, many streets turned into raging rivers. Now its just the Linq (formerly Imperial Palace), which sits at the edge of the Flamingo Wash, doing its typical garage flood. That resort is used to this happening.
To address the water runoff remarks, yes, the water does run to Lake Mead, alway has, but won’t reverse the drought or the lake’s dropping level. It takes massive Rocky Mountains snowpack melt off to refill the lakes. This event is simply part of the annual summer monsoon season.
👍
wait so this is what it looks like with flood channels and retention basins.
@@clementmckenzie7041 Yes. It used to be far worse. In 1984, I think it was Lamb Boulevard, sat on an overpass high above one of the washes. Water rose six inches above the road, and people continued to drive on it. Until a six foot high wall of water swept a station wagon off the road and into the raging flood channel below. Only one of the two occupants was eventually recovered. I suspect that more than one set of remains discovered in Lake Mead right now may be from flash flood related deaths.
That guy at 0:24 is too excited to gamble even when the water is dripping inside the casino
Oh my god, I hope all of the homeless people made it out of the storm drains alive!!

@@wakingupKosher No thanks. We already have enough cults around.
@@nikkibest5010 natural resources should not be privately owned. We are extremely lucky primates to even be on this rock,yet we deny science facts based on what us apes "believe". We don't need to "believe" in science , just fully accept it and not cherry pick it.
I wish all this water could be directed towards San Diego/Tijuana areas. So precious to us.
If every year we are breaking heat records and weird weather records, floods that used to occur every thirty years happening every year, then this is a severe trend of abstract changes. If you are driving a giant SUV or pickup and not using it to haul wood, rocks or soil etc., YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.
This is good, besides the damage and the casualties. It’s good that there is a lot of rain there right now
@stopthecrazyguy I’m talking about the water. Vegas needs a lot of it. I’m not saying floods are good but I’m saying it’s good that it’s raining
I wonder if Vegas has a system in place to catch and retain all that precious water. Hope the homeless people are okay in those drains.
They actually have one of the best in the world there is a documentary about it
They do but they also don't work all that well.
I hope people that live in the Underground Las Vegas are fine. 🙏🏽
This is great news for lake mead! 🙌🏼🙏🏼
Not really. Part of the punishment is when God brings floods to a land in famine. It adds insult to injury. Don't be surprised if they get a stinging insect invasion as well. Sin City is not blessed.
I live in New Mexico and I just walked over the bridge with the Rio Grande river under it. You could see islands of dirt where the water used to be four times as high. I know others like the Colorado river are just as low. Given the number of floods across the country like the one this week in Kentucky, it looks more like the rivers are moving. Add the global heatwave we just had and the 18 billion tons of water that melted in Greenland over 3 days and we've got quite a mess.
Water melted? 🤔🤔
nope
I lived in Albuquerque when gully washers would roll down off the Sandias into our neighborhoods. Matheson Park was a drain way when it rained and a nice park the rest of the year. even perfect hills for snow sledding.
Crazy how the ice cap data is actually less melt ice the last 10 yrs
No mess at all. Humans adapt like every other species on this planet. Just move elsewhere.
We really living in the apacolypse I'm glad I'm here for this
Seriously, this flood was NOTHING compared to the flash flooding Las Vegas endured in past decades. The Las Vegas Valley has created many flood control channels and retention basins that divert and slow the flood waters. It’s rare to see a street turned into a river in Vegas nowadays. The garage flooding is due to the resort sitting on the Flamingo wash. It has ALWAYS flooded like this.
Just make sure you know where your going after
What would you to say to a European in 1350 who lived to see half of his/her village die from disease during the Black Death, a Jewish person in 1944 during the Holocaust, and so on and so forth if they told you they were living during the apocalypse?
Amen
@@midastouch7773 Where? Paradise? This is your one life. Live it.
Las Vegas humans: “we need water it’s a drought”
Mother Nature: “Okee”
🌬😁
even with the rain its not enough. Lake mead didn't change much. most of the water comes from the Colorado river which depends on snowpack in the mountains. unfortunately, the snowpack was 60% less than usual so less water for us.
Lake Mead: * Heavy Breathing *
I think it’s developed areas that once weren’t and used to have a chance to absorb said rains. There are new homes everywhere without proper drainage and such. It only happens once in a great monsoon day. Most In desert love these days and nites on porch enjoying.
Learned something new. Glad it didn't rain when we stayed at the LINQ in 2019
WHOA!! I have NEVER seen that much Rain in Vegas! Wow!!
What has this done for the lake? Any noticeable difference?
Wasn't Las Vegas in a drought I'd say this is a blessing
We need some of that in California.
Finally we get some rain
Adds new meaning to washing your money right down the drain
So happy Las Vegas is getting much needed water. Glad to hear Lake Mead is full.
who said it was full lol
If profile image is you, you've been around long enough to understand that it doesn't necessarily happen like that.
😆😆
They really need to make a greater effort to capture Monsoon type rain water which seem to be increasing as snowfall in the mountains is decreasing.
Maybe you should catch rain water so you don't have to rely on a depleted lake
I read the comments and forgot about the people living underneath the streets. I hope someone can look out for them.
They're nobody's problem. Most of them made that choice. Drugs, Gambling addicts, people too lazy to find work. It's on them.
I was THERE!!! Saw it from the MGM !! lightning…thunder…crazy rain…it was a wild storm
I saw it from the inside of Rainforest Cafe. There were several storms that came through.
Wow!!! And we were just there back in June! Good thing we had went when we did!😮😮😮
This is a good thing… they really needed that rain. Lake mead was practically empty
The TRASH IN THE STREETS!
Now they have the water they needed
I hope someone out there is capturing all that extra water.
I have been that bike rider many a time, stranded, defeated and alone.
No matter how long mankind is on this planet, Nature will always, always abide.
Rains everywhere but Texas. Typical.
But when it rains in Texas it becomes a tragedy.
Never ever think this would happened in Vegas.
Its true - The Strip sits downhill and the rain consolidates as it heads to the lake (River) Pretty classic example. The parking garage river is not that rare - every 2-3 years it happens.
Well at least they have water now.
Sad part of this, is theirs a drought going on in the southwest, that all that rain water is just gonna head out into the desert.
Is this not a good thing for mead or won’t affect the draught?
Oh wow that blows! 😳🤦♂️ alot of water there in Vegas! 💨💨
We’ll, I think they’re very happy they have water now.
I was staying there, nobody was able to come or leave with a car. Uber ride prices was through the roof
Why is there more water in Las Vegas than in Lake Mead?
The city isn't prepared for downpours. I'm reading the statistics, and rainfall was between 0.75 and 1.38 inches. That's an average storm in most areas, but the hard ground in Las Vegas says otherwise. As for hotels flooding, I blame that on poor construction. If the roof in your house can't take that much rain, sue the builder.
Where in the world is post 10?!
Cess pool of a place needed a bath anyhow
Its a pity Lake Mead got just a tiny fraction of this.
Lake Mead got nearly ALL of it, aside from what went directly into the ground.
So a desert is flooding.
Micro storms here too.
High heat extreme storms. Won't be surprised if next year even worse.
Time to adjust and expect the unpredictable.
It's washing the sin out of sin city.
Imagine a massive dust storm extending across Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada Utah and Colorado.
This is strange, all off Middle Eastern Deserts in Saudi Arabia and American deserts are experience flash floods in the same weeks
I mean....maybe this will also help Lake Mead?
St Louis: "Hold my beer."
Missed Opportunity to Collect all that Flood Water. Lake Mead Ain't Gonna last long.

Tropical humidity in a desert . Makes sense
It’s good to have rain in Las Vegas while other states are still hot. But..we want rain, not flood.
Coming through the lightning like a waterfall
Drain the water to lake mead
The Las Vegas Valley has a series of natural washes, man made channels and tunnels. It always has fed into Lake Mead.

Oh man. No footage of me rescuing my very elderly neighbor who walked to the grocery store right before this happened?
"Yes it gets hot here but it's a dry heat, so... uhhhh, hold up..."
Every major city should have underground vaults to fill with flood waters to use for City irrigation and/or fires
California should especially have it, particularly in dense forest areas.
They have reventments in this city where the water drains into. Thanks to the stupid bureaucrats that run this town they don't work that well. just like everything else in this town.
My main concern is I know about all the homeless people living in the big drains you have there.......I hope there was early weather forecast given so these people had the time to get out......There is whole communties down there with bedding and furniture.
