LAS VEGAS (AP) - Powerful thunderstorms dumped as much
as 3 inches of rain on parts of Las Vegas and
Henderson, causing flash floods that trapped motorists
atop their cars and swamped some neighborhoods.

The torrential downpour came as thunderstorms pounded
the area, bringing severe flooding primarily to the
northwest section of the city.

The intense storm dumped 3 inches of rain in 90
minutes in one area, overwhelming flood control
channels. Officials said 2.3 inches of rain was
recorded in 20 minutes in one spot.
