The effort to clear Las Vegas storm drains - and help people living in themLas Vegas Valley officials are preparing for the remnants of Hurricane Hilary
to hit Las Vegas by clearing detention basins and storm drains. However, they
face an obstacle – people who live in storm drains underground.“Once the rain event starts, then we will come back and we will look for
individuals that are escaping that need services and we will transport them to
those services,” Lacey continued.Anyone left down in the tunnels deals not only with water, but also the
belongings of their fellow underground residents.“The water is not what gets you,” Lacey explained. “It’s all the debris that
comes flying down the tunnels. That knocks you down and then you drown.”
If the storm came up the i-35 corridor, that big arsed heat dome over dallas would push it west.
I’m in Twain Harte. Having big lightening storm. I hope there is rain with it.
Thank you for checking in. Please keep up updated when you are able. Stay safe.
The dirty side of a hurricane is to the east. I am to the east.
Deep fry ‘em.
Everything tastes good fried.
But like Sandy, it will be a “superstorm” worst the u.s. has ever seen.
You may be onto something.
Yep Cali gets a TS everytime there’s an El Nino year.
Over here.

This is the result of open borders. The wall would have kept Hilary out. Her cackling has only gotten louder.
Even more threatening is that branDUHn* is at Lake Tahoe.

Windy.com is mesmerizing!
In fascinated to know how buildings built to withstand earthquakes would do in a high wind TS or hurricane. Like would the built in “sway” help or hurt?
And What do our building codes in the south have that cali’s (or NV?) don’t?
If any engineers care to opine, I’d love to hear.
Old Sleepy Joe will not notice the weather. AF1 may have a bumpy flight to Maui.
