- Monsoon season ramped up big time in Southern Nevada on Friday, drenching the Las Vegas Valley with rain. Several major roads were completely covered with water, stranding drivers in their cars to await help. The Channel 13 team reports from across the valley.
Listen folks, this is how it used to rain all the time back in the day pre 2002 ish. Good to see it back . 70's and 80's again.
true but why good 😂 you must be retired and don't have to leave the house at all
Cause we’re clearly in a drought and need water
@@djhenderson1516 not all at once 🤣
😂 you right tho
Thank you FAKE PERSON! Soon with 10 meters deep you ll still be saying it s normal. Yeah yeah of course coments like yours are on every video and in the TOP like with every bots! telling it s normal blah blah. Arizona is not know to have Big floods! and what about people like this one : "Living in the southeast of Vegas, near the border of Henderson, I was driving home a short distance - 2-3 miles tops- at around 2:30 pm and I could not believe the volume of water that was coming down from the sky! Every intersection was flooded and in the straight line driving, the sides of the road near the sidewalks were literally a flowing river! I am so grateful that I made it home without incident because I saw a lot of vehicles stranded! I have NEVER seen anything like this in Vegas before!" His coment is just near yours! By the way it s ALL OVER THE FUCKING WORLD and more and more extreme, but yeah yeah its normal huh?!
I live in Vegas. The first part of this video shows the east part of Vegas. The east side is old Vegas and it's sewers and and run off channels are old and almost non exsisant.
Vegas is constantly adding bigger sewer pipes.
The earth in Vegas is not dirt. Its tight and compacted so too much water will just pool up on top of it. When it rains to much and to fast in Vegas we really get flooding.
wow! - so, who cares, really???
;-]
@rickmo970 don't be an A-hole. Your comment shows your poor chracter.
Also east vegas is the lowest elevation since lake mead is also to the east.
Vegas set mostly on alluvium soil the east side is more compact, the west side is steeper and has more loose alluvium deposits that means the soil will shift a little more on that side .
Yep but they will all scream climate apocalypse

Floods have happened like this in Vegas several times through the years. Nothing new. I don’t knowhow long you’ve been here but there was one that was twice as bad as this in 1999. I grew up here in Vegas and I have seen it several times since I was a kid.
Global warming causing abnormal weather events everywhere.
@@truckingwithtobeeI've been off and on in Vegas since at least 1999. Though I don't remember it being so young.
@@truckingwithtobeeshut up, you grew up here so that means nobody cares about you or what you have to say, ya' uneducated swine! The transplants run this city.
Weather warfare! China has plans of artificial rain and snow (larger than the size of India) through 2025! Stay vigilant!
This news production is like a high school quality cast and reporting😂 idk maybe I’m just used to LA reporting 😂
MSM is pathetic, independent journalism is so much better at reporting the truth
You better get used to this type of newscast because you can't afford Los Angeles anymore and they don't want you back, broke boy. As a matter of fact, Las Vegas locals don't want you here either. Would you like a noose? I'll kick the chair.
What a sad world we have become laughing at a poor ladies miss fortune Welcome to a world of people being so self absorbed
Narcissistic and foolish, it seems like our culture is rotting from within
cars are not boats... common sense.
self-absorbed and mean-spirited.
IQ level dropping like a stone out of the sky.
They built that big sphere but won't fix the drains... shame on you vegas
Yeah very similar to the Dubai deception ❤❤
They built the talles building of the world , but somehow didn’t hook ik up to the sewage network.
Each morning a long queue of poop trucks line up to empty the shit storage 😅
😢
Has nothing to do with drains...this is the desert and water has no where to go when the rains are heavy....water comes rushing down from the higher elevations (mountains) and follows the washes...
Exactly😂
😂😂
I didn't see a mattress floating by
Maybe "mattress" is a euphemism for "hooker"?
@@kurttrue 🤣😂
were you supposed to.????
Did the reporter just gloss over the statement that the tow trucks 🛻 are gouging people at this time 🧐
And people were riding by laughing 😠
Exactly, she didn’t want to acknowledge the disgusting behavior, and the tow truck company should be named.
$200 is cheap also you don't know where she wanted it towed to. where i am towing rates are $340 an hour. and yes at times they ask for money upfront when busy because a lot of the time trucks show up and people claim to have no money wasting tow company's time and money. those trucks are expensive and insurance and work-mans comp are super expensive. and yes you get laughed at if you think your car is a boat and flood it.
@@timg2973 I'm in Georgia, it's around $100 - $125 non rush hour with up to 45 minute wait. Rush hour $125+ 2 - 3 hour wait.
They are all a bunch of douche bags.
Sign of society for a while now that people would rather laugh than help people in their own community. You are on your own most of the time.
I lived there in 1986 and Vegas used to have massive flooding..
The way the city was built has the worst drain storm system ever .. I once told a realtor when looking for a retirement home there if I get a Kayak 🛶 or Canoe 🛶 with the purchase of the property lol 😂 Hopefully everyone stays safe 👍🙏💯
Well, if you have lived here for so long, you’ll notice the amount of money put towards the drainage.. you are wrong!!
I lived there a total of 8 years throughout my life , the work was great there 👍👍👍 but I'm retired in California ( Counting My Change.. Not lol 😂 ) yes I have seen the improvements but it was a Memory of The Old Vegas that I remembered .. No need to get uptight .. 👍💯🙏👋
worst place to retire.......... I lived there in 71'
@@steevieelmoney was great in the 80s and early 90s, still here and now counting change 😂 I miss the good Ole days and a smaller town!
Wasn't there an area by the Imperial Palace that was used as a drainage for flash floods? It was normally a low road but it would get closed if they were expecting rain? Seemed to me I remembered some of the locals saying something about that when I visited back in 89.
Get AAA, it’s a lifesaver in more ways than one. Save my A or AAA so many times :)
Modern cars have a lot of electronic sensors and connectors all going to the computer. The connecters are sealed fairly well, but if water gets in them, it can stall the car. Also, there is a vent on automatic transmissions, and if water gets in the transmission it can be destroyed. Water can be splashed up under the hood also, and short things out. A good rule of thumb is never drive in water that can reach the frame of the car, and drive slowly so water doesn't splash under the hood.
That why I drive a 4x4 truck with no sensors and 36" Super Swampers, no 2' of water stopping me in my 91 year old truck.
Oh try wait, there are maybe some sensors in the USB deck in my headliner shelf. But that's 6.5' above the street level.
What about Teslas with batteries?
Sounds like a VERY cool truck!@@punapeter
@@StickyKeys187 zero tollerance for water
Ya it is what got me 500 subs when I had those videos up.
I read no injuries and no deaths. Seems a bit dramatic when a woman stated she was shaken as her car was in water that came up to the bottom of the car. These events are short lived .
Anyone who owns an EV better make sure they keep it on higher grounds or if it's been hit by flood to keep it outside away from homes and other vehicles. Stay safe out there.
It must nice to cool down in the desert where it is stinking hot !
We love rain not just all at once, imagine these people who work at stores they get paid very low to clean all this mess.
It is important to get AAA or similar coverage from insurance so not faced with rip off tow drivers.
Sure, go ahead, get AAA, and you'll wait for 6-10 hours or more in situations like that. AAA doesn't pay shit to tow companies for their services so therefore tow companies are not in a big hurry to take their calls. They'll prioritize cash paying customers during severe weather situations. If you wanna avoid "rip off" tow operators, then don't be a shit for brains and drive through flood waters.
I have AAA.I love the service.
@@VladimirBlarp🎯
Too bad this water cannot be routed into the Colorado river system to assist the restoration of water levels
Its monsoon season and either folks are being ignorant or disingenuous because this happens every year and they tell us to get off the roads due to flooding but a lot of people don't listen to those warnings
That part people don’t listen to the warnings
The news cycles’ gotta cycle!
Wow! People laughing at someone who has trouble walking. Talk about lack of humanity! GTF out of Vegas and move to a state where people still care about people. Real talk!
that made me sad. and i'm usually not the sympathetic type
People suck
Fudge rounds.
That’s Vegas for you!! I am from the Midwest, and people here are not friendly!! Been here for over 14 years! People are REAL different!💀🤡
The reporter didn’t even give her sympathy 🤯😤😢 would have taken a few seconds to say “I’m so sorry you’ve been through all this, and I’m sure $300 wasn’t what you were expecting to be parting with today”- and maybe even get her information so others can help her.
It’s bad enough to hear people were laughing at her 💔 - but do a little more than just grabbing the story. 😒
I remember the monsoons in 2018. I was right at Decatur and Sahara. Blackouts. I think it was July.
Oh my gosh, items floating down the street? Incredible! That is definitely news worth reporting

There was Rivers running across Commerce by 07:00 Ikaw ba ay isang Pilipina? Pagpalian ka ng Diyos
I'm from Louisiana, so what LOL. Its called find an alternate route people. go around. They cry when Lake Meade is dropping, then cry when it rains. Be grateful, its called mother nature.
That was some crazy rain, flood seeped into our store a bit. Was pushing it to the drains for a good few hours.
The atmospheric river brought by Hilary added precipitation to your climate, the heavy monsoon season. All the working people who get paid low to clean all this mess 😞
Those towing guys are nothing but merciless thugs who abuse whenever there's a chance ~ Hope everybody in Vegas recoups after this crazy weather - You asked for water, you got it!!!
I lived in Vegas 20 yrs and do miss anything about it now,
Common sense has left the chat….Boggles the mind people just carry on as normal during flash floods or any other sort of weather event.
This weather abnormal , worst so far!
They should have canceled school
This happens EVERY TIME IT RAINS!!!
Don't try have a crazy massive & expensive storm tunnel system?
Exactly
How long does it take to clear up 😮I should be there visiting Friday morning 😅
@@danielcamacho1007 I see no signs that it even rained the other day haha
I love your Chann13 News!!👏👏👏
And to think it was not long ago everyone was worried about getting rain and how Lake Mead was drying up and now Meade is getting to be full again. A heavy rain is good it cleans the streets and everything and refreshes everything and just think Lake Mead won't be running out of water any time soon.
I care more about green growing things then streets
Vegas gets its water from underground reservoirs and rivers not the Lake. They are still building houses and condos here. The Lake tales are lies so the water authority with the government can control us. Yes the Lake us down but we don't get most of residential water from it.
from one rain? LOL Mead will get a whole 2" rise? LOL
The issue of course is excess usage of whatever water there is. And if you think a few flash floods in Las Vegas that can't get it's storm sewer system done correctly is going to fill up Lake Mead, I want to know what you're smoking.
And Vegas builds a 2.3 billion light show on the strip but can’t fix streets with proper drainage! All about greed to the strip !
Awesome. We love the water. Send more!
I was so glad it rained a little today after forecasts had said it wouldn't. Praise to God!
Great footage!
All the rain should solve the Lake Mead problems for awhile
Whoever had that "Send Help" is a genius.
It's just printed on his sunscreen. Probably lives in Naked City - good place to put "SEND HELP" up every single time you park.
This has been happening for years...I remember all the flooding even back in the 80's. Someday I hope they get drainage completed.
Thank you! I'm so tired of people sensationalizing what has been "NORMAL" events in areas for as far back as anyone can remember, trying to hint at everything being climate change. It's just WEATHER like we've always had, and poor infrastructure that can't handle the rains that have always been during this time of year!
Thank you FAKE PERSON! Soon with 10 meters deep you ll still be saying it s normal.

It's only just begun.
My city still doesn’t have proper drainage systems how many years later? Cabana flooded so bad we could barely get through!
This third-world infrastructure is the fault of city planners. At least most cities in Arizona had enough sense to build canals that prevent flooding during monsoon season.
Hey the roads are flooded let’s drive thru it,what can happen. 🤦🏻♂️
Gives new meaning to 'Sand Surfing '
It gets like that on Cheyenne and las vegas every time it rains hard 😂
BIG DEAL Vegas got a little rain.
Send it to lake mead.
Lake Mead needed it so much but man yall got dumped on big time. I use to live there and would get gitty every time it rained but wow this is on a whole different level.
Desert doing what it does when torrential rains hit, flash flooding, especially along the natural washes. I bet if you want back 100 years and looked at land surveys, many of the flood areas where washes and or natural flood zones. It also doesn't help when man unknowingly creates washes/flood zones when they build without consideration to the occasional heavy rain.
The hot desert usually soak water dry under 10 feet deep
3" rise in Lake Mead today = 6 billion gallons = ~ 45 days of Vegas water usage, but only 2 days of California & Ariizona use.
You should have paid attention in math class 🤷♂️ Vegas uses 270 million gallons a year. Fucking moron 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What's going on with the Vegas sanitation department? They need to fix this ASAP.
Damn, Dr. Drew’s wife has a nice set!
That laughing at the stranded womans woe is pretty typical here in Vegas where the culture is all about doing for yourself. Most residents spend their days locked in their caves and a result of the lack of socialization encourages the 'good folks' of Vegas learn to not give a crap about their fellow man.
I know, which is just one of the MANY things why I HATE Las Vegas.
Doesn't surprise me in a Democratic state that passersby would be laughing.
i laugh too when i see !d!0ts..... 🤣
Good have fun !!
Oh brother. We have had worse Monsoon weather. A few drains clogged and the whole city panics.
You don’t live here or else you would know that we haven’t had this much for several decades. It hit a record this year. Yes those of us that live here know that our streets flood every year but this year was bad.
@@bman1067 Then why do you build to not drain flooding. I live in a Monsoon Arizona city and we do not have this problem.
Las Vegas needs to be under water forever.

All these people didn't live in the 70s and 80 when Koval flooded! 😂
I miss our small hometown valley!
We need the water,though.
They say lone mountain got 1.93” at night. If there were 4 inches of rain, the water would likely catch-up to my doorstep.
Yes I'm here in vegas and was stuck in floods for 2 hours not fun 🙏🙏
And people still drive through the flooded streets…no one apparently learns…
Nevadans. i am one of you. i am one of your own. we know we cannot drive in the rain. so you know you cannot drive a car in moving water. it is deeper than you think. .

I was on Ann Rd and Simmons. It was really scary.
@@81983danielle have friends near there. They said the same thing
We did get a lot of flood warnings that day and no one listened. I can kinda see why though, we get a lot of flash flood warnings but nothing never happens, but when it does everyone is shocked.

I laugh at stupidity. What's wrong with that?😂 if I drove through water that was too deep for my car and it hydrolocked the engine, I probably laugh at myself too.😅
stupid is as stupid does and you can't fix it.....
It’s not “stupidity” when someone is driving, gets stuck in traffic and the street suddenly floods from a downpour. But it is total ignorance and lack of character to laugh at the misfortune of others, just saying.
Urban Kayak season is in full swing... Last years season was weak...

Did all this happen from TWO inches of rain!
Unbelievable !
Last year they reported a horrible drought. So bad that we were going to all lose water. The rains were very heavy but less than 2 inches. The media is?

What is coming? I want to know 😮
Probably cleaned out those tunnels
The streets are flooding due to no storm drains or inadequate drainage systems are the reason that is going on if the city put in storm drains flowing to a river or to a storm ponds the streets would stay clear when it rains as long as it's free from trash and other things that can block the water flow. It's really simple to do.
They sure keep building stadiums and race track in the middle of the strip. They had 70, years to fix this. Mount Charleston same thing. They don’t fix what is needed now you see the scams this city does.
It’s to expensive. Better to spend that money on a poor base ball team.
The streets flood because there is TOO much concrete and buildings, not enough TREES, soil and dirt!! It’s a dessert and NEEDS actual ground for absorption.
@@user-jc8rz2jj9r can’t plant grass around vegas because there trying to conserve water .
the MEDIA: turn around dont drown
also the MEDIA: lets add to the traffic problem by sending dozens of non essential reporters to these same places
If they was smart they would build canals on the biggest sand streams to prevent major flooding again
With the warnings, did this lady think it was a good idea to go out- drive?
The drains are not enough to remove water from the city’s street…
Las Vegas needs a system of communication (social media, phone alerts, radio, TV) which tells people to stay home and not to go into the flood-prone areas.
It does you get an alert just like the amber alert system, but for weather alerts
I must have received 100 alerts that day.. everybody was warned and told to stay home..
Sometimes ppl are at work and are going home.
No need to reinvent the wheel. I got multiple alerts on my phone and TV warning against unnecessary travel
Vegas needs some intelligent citizens who can figure that out for themselves.
