We may have been asleep...but the barker always argues with even distant thunder so we can be pretty sure there was none.

Checking around lost a big tree limb. Hanging over the wall.

Went outside and some of the neighbors trees have fallen over from the wind, even big trees. Wow
We didn’t get a drop at my place. Just wind, and plenty of it.

My mistake. The radar looked like the majority of Las Vegas got at least some rain.

Went out in the back yard to move the grill back under the extended patio cover area and sat watching the neighbor's trees blow around. Saw some lightning but got no rain. Dust blowing creates a mess and we got lots of pine needles from a tree next door. Cleaned it all up earlier today. I gave up on having our umbrella out there after a few windstorms.

It blew over once when it was down, I said forget it, put it in the garage.

My power was out for ten hours! It was brutal.

Mine flickered. First time in many years. We used to have frequent power outages here, but that was many moons ago. It’s extremely reliable now. Usually, it takes some drunken idiot crashing into something to take the power out. This time it was all Mother Nature.

Our gardener came offer and took care of the busted limb. Was glad to do it as his home is without power. They are living in their pool. Brought half the family.

Same deal here, my dog who usually reacts to even a hint of rain had no concern.

No real thunder, a bit of lightening but not even a drop of rain.

Lightning in the distance. Didn't notice the wind while we were eating dinner at a friends house "down the hill" in SCS, but when left to go up Villa Ridge there were limbs (small) and leaves everywhere.

When we got home the sky over the east side was very active with lightning. Horizontal and vertical.

But no thunder heard.

Was it out during the day? That would be brutal! Ours was out in Henderson July 19, around 11:30pm, and came back on around 1am (couldn't get back to sleep). It was a thunderstorm night. Heard a gasp from the neighbors as it want on (noticed the night light come back on in our house).
