The Las Vegas Valley was placed under a flood watch on Monday as a deluge of rainfall threatened the desert state with unprecedented flooding.
The National Hurricane Center warned of ‘life-threatening flash, urban, and arroyo flooding including landslides, mudslides, and debris flows’ across Nevada and Idaho, as well as parts of northern California and Utah.The small community of Mount Charleston saw a total of seven inches of rainfall as the storm passed directly overhead. A boil water order was issued for the small town of less than 400 people after the storm knocked out the community’s utilities.
Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo declared a state of emergency on Sunday, and asked Nevadans to prepare for destructive floods. ‘As the state takes the necessary steps to prepare for flooding and severe weather, I strongly urge all Nevadans to do the same,’ the governor said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
