Other parts of the Las Vegas Valley also experienced high winds, including Summerlin.

The Federal Aviation Administration added an advisory to its website on Saturday stating that arrivals at Harry Reid International Airport could have 30 minute delays “due to a configuration change, as well as thunderstorms in the area.” But no major delays were reported Saturday.
In Henderson, Friday’s storms uprooted several large trees on the road leading into the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve, a nature park at 350 East Galleria Drive. Inside, staff said Saturday that few trees were as damaged in the 140 acre park, which is an essential rest stop for bird migration and popular area for birdwatchers.
