  1. 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 ???????????????

    1. 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!

  2. Is this happening now in Las Vegas? Wow, just amazed as to what’s going on in the world😂😂😂

    1. 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..

    1. 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

  3. 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

    1. 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.

  4. Actually this is the best way to give the news. Just let the public provide it! Maybe it can be the new trend.

  5. You guys always complain about not having enough water, now you complain about too much? Make up your mind you weirdos.
