Heavy rain pummeled Moapa on Monday, leaving nearly 100 students stranded and part of Interstate 15 closed after sections of the freeway washed away. Northbound lanes of I-15 were closed at the Moapa exit, about 50 miles from Las Vegas, Nevada Highway Patrol trooper Chelsea Webster said, and southbound lanes were closed near Bunkerville.
Storms that flooded several Phoenix-area freeways and numerous local streets during the Monday morning commute set an all-time record for rainfall in Phoenix in a single day.
Gloria Lee, the woman facing dozens of animal cruelty charges in the Prince and Princess Pet Boutique fire, has been granted a temporary reprieve from house arrest.
