Is this good or bad? Not sure why heavy rains in a desert areas would be bad...unless of course it washed away the casinos..

Yes, it’s raining, but do the people in the casinos know?

Hope you don’t get flooding...and hope it starts filling up Lake Mead.

Hope it stops by tomorrow, heading down there to see Buffett this weekend and help the Nevada economy. Hope he can just “shut up and sing” and leave his politics at home.

Bad if it rains hard enough and long enough to flood. Vegas always has the potential for a big flood problem even with having probably the best storm drain system of any US metro area. Good for the Colorado River and Lake Mead, I guess. God sakes, Lake Mead sure needs the water.

In the North part of the state where I live, this October has shattered all previous records for rainfall and the month isn't even over yet.

It's a 'La Nina' year, and that can mean wild weather for Nevada. Personally, I think that any skiiers out there who are thinking of travelling to Lake Tahoe for fresh untracked champagne powder skiing oughtta be waxing up their sticks and keeping one eye on the weather reports for Northern NV and the other eye on their vacation calendar.

"Hope he can just “shut up and sing” and leave his politics at home."

He did an 'Oil Spill' concert here in Gulf Shores, Alabama.

He made some smart-ass socialist comments during this event.

I don't care for him anymore.

Okay, don’t have enough information to make a reasonable statement on the rains - but of course you do...

I can only hope that it washes all the Democrats out to sea (or at least into Lake Tahoe...heh)...

Hope that things work out okay - hopefully, just enough rain for plentiful crops and not enough to cause problems...

Hope it comes through Memphis. We haven’t had any rain since August. The ground here is drier than the Sea of Tranquility.
