Strong storms swept over Nevada on Friday night, July 19, flooding the streets and streaking the night sky with long forks of lightning. Adam Reed was shooting video of takeoffs at McCarran International Airport when he captured this spectacular video. The heavy rain also caused collapses of the roof at Gilley’s, seen in this video, and the ceiling at the Mirage, seen in this video. Credit: YouTube/reprisal3.
