Las Vegas Rainy Day Drivers
It rarely rains in Las Vegas but when it does we usually get a year's worth of rainfall in a few minutes. Thursday was one of those days for those on the east side of the Vegas. More than an inch of rain fell in about twenty minutes leaving many streets looking like rivers. Me and the Prof were out driving down Boulder Highway minutes after the rain ended and shot these photos. Las Vegas drivers are already considered to be some of the worst but the rain apparently makes them crazy. Check out the photo above for graphic results of deep water and speed. Has something to do with hydro-pressures according to the Prof. Incidentally, the west side of town stayed high and dry, no rain.
