Just a bit, it was extraordinary, and really quite exciting.

That view from an aircraft was exactly what we could see at ground level, a clearly defined area of storm, relentlessly approaching at 15 mph.

The National Weather Centre sent text messages to everyone warning of imminent flash floods.

I sent some links back to England showing the after effects, and flooding across Vegas, including The Strip. Will look them out tomorrow and post them if time permits.

As a positive, some forest fires had been burning up in Spring Mountains for several days, so at least they were suitably doused.

For completeness, that photograph was taken from a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700.
