Las Vegas Neighborhood Sees Flooding After Rainfall

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Storm waters flooded a Las Vegas neighborhood after the area saw more than 1 inch of rain Wednesday.

 

The Clark County Regional Flood Control District says water from the Upper Duck Creek Detention Basin drained to a natural wash and entered part of the Mountain's Edge neighborhood.

 

Flooding of up to 2 feet deep was reported in some spots of the southwestern Las Vegas neighborhood.

 

Flood control district officials were working to steer the drainage away from the neighborhood Thursday.
