LAS VEGAS HIT by FLASH FLOODS — RECORD RAIN & 70 MPH Winds (Latest Updates)

A heavy storm driven by tropical moisture slammed into Las Vegas and the surrounding desert southwest on Sunday, October 11, 2026, triggering widespread flooding and high wind warnings. The system was caused by the remnants of former Hurricane Rachel, which pushed north as a post-tropical cyclone and pulled deep moisture into dry desert ground. Heavy rainfall broke a daily record at Harry Reid International Airport with over an inch of rain, while parts of the northwest valley recorded over two and a half inches, sending flash floods through city streets and desert washes. In this video, viewers will see footage of wind and water striking the Las Vegas Valley, record-breaking rainfall rushing through desert roads, high wind conditions impacting surrounding mountains, and severe flash flood warnings reaching into neighboring Arizona.
