At least four inches of torrential rain an hour fell during the heart of the storm at around 5:30 p.m., officials said. Dean Iovino with the National Weather Service said more rain fell in two hours than the city of Las Vegas receives in a year. Two women and a man, ranging in age from 40 to 60s, have been found dead. Four people were missing, three females and a male. Among the missing was a 9-month-old baby. Brewer declined to identify the relationships of the victims but said "one family has been severely affected." The flooding was so bad it flooded cars with people already inside them, which county officials said caused their deaths and another family to go missing. At least one bridge was seen in visible disrepair. Fire Chief Tim Brewer told reporters that the area got about 6 1/2 to seven inches of rain (about 18 centimeters) in 45 minutes. "In my 44 years, I've never seen anything like it," he said. "When the water came up, it came up very swiftly. We do not think that anybody drove into it, that they were actively on that road when it happened." There were about 11 cars on the road at the time, and three were swept away. There was about four to five feet of water over the road, he said. Brewer declined to identify the relationships of the victims but said "one family has been severely affected." Eight people were rescued from the cars and two from the creek, he said. All three vehicles swept away were later located, and no one was found inside. One was about 1.5 miles from where it entered the creek. "We are treating this as a rescue but we are fairly certain we are in a recovery mode at this time," Brewer said. About 150 people were searching the creek){kind=link}
