(in message ): Is the flooding near you? Are you guys OK? Karen I did not even know about it until my parents called asking if I was flooded. We got a few drops here. I live on the SE side of the valley and it hit the northwest side about 20 miles from me. It actually rolled out of the mountains west of the valley and was dropping 5 inches an hour up there. It dropped 3 inches in 90 minutes, two inches of that in twenty minutes on some neighborhoods. Putting that in perspective we get a little over 4 inches a year. All the flooding was very localized where it hit. The flood channels seem to be handling it. All the water drains SE to Lake Mead. Big flashflood warnings out there now. More is supposed to be on the way. Its all thunderstorms though and could go around or over as the mountains act on it. |
