Las Vegas Braces for Hurricane Hilary's Devastating Floods

Officials in Clark County, Nevada are preparing for a potentially severe storm, dubbed a "100-year event," as it approaches the region. Emergency management teams are coordinating efforts to handle the expected heavy rainfall, which could exceed the typical monsoon season. While the flood control system is designed to handle the flows, street flooding is anticipated, and officials advise people to shelter in place and avoid driving through flooded areas. Concerns are also raised for the homeless population living in storm drains. The Flamingo wash is expected to see water flow, and security measures have been taken to keep people safe. The storm presents a "better than average chance" of a "100-year event."
