The alert came over my phone like the Amber Alerts. I also got an email from the City of Las Vegas livestreaming the event. It's been streaming for over an hour.

Oh, and my power went out today briefly. I wondered if it was because of the weather. Anyone else?

On the news they say there are rocks flying around and my husband just got home and said people are at the hospital for related injuries to the high winds blowing things around and hitting them.

I had to drive 1 mile to my son's bus stop. It was pretty brutal. So many things blowing across the road. My trash can was 8 house down. I had to put it in the garage,

There's a bunch of trees down. One by my house. Son said he saw another one down on the way home from school on the bus.
40,000+ people without power.

40mph sustained winds with 60mph gusts. This is what a category 1 hurricane is like.

Dang! I'm staring at the overturned semi picture wondering where it is when it hit me. It's the big black bar in the middle of the picture.

At least 3 semis roll over in high winds - FOX5 Vegas - KVVU

I guess the downed trees did cause power outages too.
