    Not going to lie this is ironic given the remnants of that storm went through and did nothing like this meanwhile some typical summer storms cause electrical hazards with water pouring from the ceilings. Just embarrassing and signs of shitty upkeep of the casinos/hotels

    I'm actually in Vegas right now. I was fortunate enough to get a suite with floor to ceiling windows, so I can see the storm. Looks very cloudy right now but it doesn't appear to be raining anymore.

    The casino where I'm at hasn't had leaks yet.

    The funny thing is this appears to be much worse than the much-ballyhooed "hurricane" from 2 weeks ago.

    That was a big nothingburger for Vegas, and this storm -- believed just to be scattered thundershowers -- is causing real damage and possibly death.

    Officials try to get them out. Most leave.

    A few stay because they are stupid, drugged out, insane, or stubborn. They usually die. Sad but unpreventable.

    I'm on the way out of Vegas now. I will be driving on that same road depicted as a river above (which was yesterday).

    Storms supposedly over but I see lots of dark clouds in the distance.

    GL me

    If I die in a flash flood, Benjamin will take over running this forum, and he's not as easygoing with moderating as I am.

    Not really sure if sad. Whenever I see a local news story like "...respond to 10 overdoses in downtown Portland within 24 hours..." I'm happy. Darwinism cleaning up the streets.
