Three reasons flash floods are more dangerous than you - TopicsExpress



          

Three reasons flash floods are more dangerous than you think: 1: This year, Las Vegas went 125 days without rainfall, a dry spell that was broken on the 4th of July by .8 inches of rain. The ground is hard packed, and does not absorb water well. Even a small amount of precipitation can cause flooding. 2: It only takes 12 inches of fast-moving water to wash your vehicle off the road. 3: Las Vegas is in a valley. It might be dry here, but raining in the mountains. Since water isnt absorbed well, a river might be rushing down dry beds right into the city. If youre in a low, flat area, you might be taken by surprise. So, event though its hot and dry right now, be mindful. Even a little water rushing down a hill can ruin your day. If youve been the victim of a vehicle injury, call us: (702) 382-0000.
