Astonishing 1000-YR++ rain in the DESERT in Mohave last evening.
9 inches in just 3 hours, SE of Las Vegas & Henderson Nevada, near Nelson. Actually exceeds the criteria by 2.5X
In the desert where rain is rare, the ground can’t handle it, rain runs off quick and can cause massive flash flooding. A reminder that a 1000-yr event doesn’t happen once every 1000 years. Instead it means the chance any given year is .1%.
This statistical calculation is based on our past climate record. But this is a new climate, with new rules, more moisture, and more frequent extreme rain events.
