Thousands of residents were without power and the Atrium Garden condominium complex took the worst of the storm.
Residents were evacuated and the American Red Cross set up a shelter at Desert Pines High School for them.
There is a 30 percent chance of thunderstorms in the valley on Tuesday and a 50 percent chance of storms in Mount Charleston.
