Storms rolled into the Las Vegas valley this week, sometimes violent and sometimes beautiful.

If neither of those, at least they brought in some much needed moisture, but in some areas around the valley, they caused flash flood warnings to go into effect.

If you have photos or video to share, submit them to the RJ via the At the Scene function on the RJ app.
