It was pretty nasty weather towards the evening and late into the night. I
was
at the airport today talking to the airport manager, he said winds were
clocked
at 60 mph at one point for about an hour, He said he thought a couple of
C-152's
were going to fly away in that wind, that they were "kite'ing around".
Even Air
Vegas stopped flying out to the canyon.
I didnt see the light show, but the next day the news said we had a good
lightining show that night. It was nasty stuff, came in from california.
The tropicana casino had their parking garage flood and the fire dept had
to
evacuate people from cars inside the garage (again on the news).

But the guy crashed near the Fiesta Casino, just inside the fence.

Does your friend know what the definition of a severe thunderstorm is?

I guess his friends definition of a severe thunderstorm is what Jeff
described.
