Feb 6, 1998
A wet Pacific Storm produced moderate to heavy rainfall over the Las Vegas Valley for a few hours during the evening. The resulting storm runoff filled some underpasses, drainage culverts and washes. Firefighters had to rescue a driver from one vehicle which was submerged near Oakey and Western. Two other vehicles were caught in drainage waters near Duck Creek Wash and Boulder Highway and the occupants had to be rescued.
