LAS VEGAS HIT by FLASH FLOODS — 10 RESCUES as Streets Turn to RIVERS

The remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel brought record-breaking rainfall and flash flooding to Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sunday, October 11, 2026. The storm delivered over an inch of rain in a single morning, tying the wettest October day ever recorded at Harry Reid International Airport and marking the city's wettest single day in more than seven and a half years. The deluge triggered widespread flash flooding, causing street closures around the Las Vegas Strip, flooding lower levels of parking structures, and sparking roughly ten water rescues across the valley. Strong winds knocked down local power lines, while regional flood threats expanded across six western states and northwestern Arizona. In this video, viewers will see floodwaters rushing through Las Vegas streets, rescue crews assisting motorists trapped in standing water, wind damage across the valley, and flight delays at the airport.
