Thousands without power after storms swept through parts of Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS (NBC, KYMA/KECY) - Thousands are without power after storms swept through parts of Las Vegas Tuesday.
The storm unleashed near-hurricane-force wind gusts that toppled trees and downed power lines.
A severe thunderstorm warning was issued, alerting residents that developing storm cells had the potential to cause significant damage to structures due to strong winds.
The wind generated a dust storm that swept through much of the valley, dramatically reducing visibility and impacting air quality readings.
