"People don't realize just a few inches of rain can really cause some damage," said Kim Becker, a Henderson city spokeswoman. Adair called the 2-inch hail that fell in southwestern neighborhoods near the 215 Beltway the most unusual element of the storm. Water gushed through some 600 miles of channels, including choke points near the Linq observation wheel on the Strip. The woman was believed to have suffered a heart attack while she and two other people were rescued Thursday from rushing water near the Hard Rock Casino Hotel east of the Las Vegas Strip, Deputy Clark County Fire Chief Jeff Buchanan said. Las Vegas was hit by flooding as heavy thunderstorms packing golf ball-sized hail, gusty winds and destructive lightning swept through the area, leaving at least one person hospitalized after she was plucked from a flooded wash, authorities said.
