Storm wreaks havoc<\/h2>\n

A violent thunderstorm hit the Las Vegas Valley to announce the start of monsoon season, leaving over 35,000 people without power at one stage according to NV Energy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

gusts reaching up to 70 miles per hour<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Spokeswoman for the public utility Meghin Delaney stated that the power disruption was \u201ccaused primarily by severe winds, with gusts reaching up to 70 miles per hour in some areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Social media influencer Las Vegas Locally took to X to share footage of the damage and a warning about the local weather:<\/p>\n

The intense thunderstorm came with severe wind gusts that skittled powerlines, fell trees, disrupted flights, and sparked a major blaze that killed multiple farm animals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The National Weather Service Las Vegas also issued a warning about the dust storm, advising drivers to stay alert to \u201cchanging conditions with blowing dust & sudden crosswinds\u201d with visibility down to less than a quarter mile at times.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the worst had passed, NV Energy stated the storm caused\u00a0\u201csignificant\u201d damage to the Las Vegas Valley and \u201cwill take time to repair.\u201d<\/p>\n

Back with a bang<\/h2>\n

According to reports, The Clark County Office of Emergency Management is collaborating with NV Energy to \u201cgather resources for people impacted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although a biblical-scale thunderstorm already hit Southern Nevada in the first days of June<\/a>, it fell outside the region\u2019s typical June 15 through September 30 monsoon season. As such, reported Fox Weather, Tuesday\u2019s storm was the \u201cfirst major surge of monsoonal moisture across southern Nevada.\u201d<\/p>\n

The dramatic return of the weather system was compounded by what meteorologists confirmed were \u201cVirga bombs,\u201d<\/a> which are essentially sudden downdrafts caused by evaporating rain that generate sudden and violent gusts of wind that can exceed 100 mph.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the Las Vegas Strip reportedly escaped the worst of the damage, the storm came relatively close to the site of the Oakland\u2019s A\u2019s new stadium build on Tropicana Avenue.<\/p>\n

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department took to X yesterday with news of road closures near Tropicana and Pecos Road:<\/p>\n

EXTENDED CLOSURE (6:45 PM): @LVMPDSEAC<\/a> units are on scene near Tropicana and Pecos for multiple downed power poles and lines in the roadway. @NVEnergy<\/a> crews are making repairs. Please avoid the area and use alternate routes. pic.twitter.com\/l0iwKIK17Y<\/a><\/p>\n

According to reports, some people were stuck in their vehicles on Tropicana for more than an hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trapped for hours<\/h2>\n

Power lines fell on a Jeep Cherokee driven by Kendra Day, a Strip worker on her way home to Henderson, reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n

God was on my side today.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Told by emergency workers to remain in her Jeep in case the wires were still live, Day stated: \u201cI was inside my car for close to two hours, but I\u2019m still alive. God was on my side today.\u201d<\/p>\n

The same scenario happened to Las Vegas resident Claudia London. Just steps away from Day\u2019s Jeep, power lines crushed the roof of London\u2019s Prius, confining her inside. \u201cI\u2019ve never experienced anything like that in my life,\u201d the relieved London later told the Review-Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n
