Dig a trench to lake Powell
Mead ! Lake Mead !!
Thought Las Vegas invested into a multi BILLION $ water evacuation tunnel system !?? Did the project engineers failed to properly design the apparatus of this “somewhat” extremely costly endeavor ???????????????
Nope. It’s just extreme weather that’s generated flooding way over the capacity of the drainage system to remove. These kinds of events used to happen once in 200-500-1000 years. So the system was never designed to handle it. Now they can happen every 10-50 years. Freak weather!
Is this happening now in Las Vegas? Wow, just amazed as to what’s going on in the world😂😂😂
Yep, second time flooding in less than a month
Reno got hit with a wicked flash flood last Wednesday too and hail
God may be trying to tell you something
Well it’s called sin city, God got tired of it, it’s gotta get flooded
lol yes, the water is low and Lake Powell needs a refill on him. lol
Like getting rid of the homeless drug addicts in the drainage pipes? I’m sure he doesn’t look to kindly on them and all the mayhem they’ve caused and disregard for his rules..
I consider the monsoon rains a blessing
There is a whole City Underground of Vegas of drug addicts I hope they didn’t drown
The underground tunnels 😳
Good point… I totally forgot about them and they live in the sewer drain pipes too. Hopefully they got out after that last one and are waiting it out til the end of summer
@Triple deuce 🎰 that’s pretty legit you know all of those
They prepare for these floods
The people driving through it are dumb.. your cars gonna stop working very soon. And that’s ok for the buses and police who don’t own it,, not u
Entirely depends on where the intake is. Some cars have pretty high air intakes, and that’s really the only thing that should be of concern driving through higher waters.
Wow, again! Another mess!
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Except this.
Water, water, everywhere, and never a drink to drop.
Actually this is the best way to give the news. Just let the public provide it! Maybe it can be the new trend.
The Devil’s Playground 🤑
“This gonna be on the news, watch!” – thanks captain obvious! 😂
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I hope it lasts long enough to help the lakes.
If this isn’t weather engineering I don’t know what is.
Well no, you don’t.
You guys always complain about not having enough water, now you complain about too much? Make up your mind you weirdos.
And which WASH does this water drain into?
They can fill up Lake Las Vegas with the runoff
They finally getting the water they need to break that historic drought.
Can’t believe the amount of water,wow.
