Today, a possible tornado hit the Las Vegas Valley this afternoon, causing some damage to some stores and houses and ripped down some trees.
From Channel 13: High winds sweeping through the Valley caused damage to businesses and power outages at homes on Monday afternoon.
The first report of damage came from a building on Flamingo near Eastern at about 3:30 p.m. A spokesperson for Clark County said the structure lost tiles from the roof and the building appeared to be unoccupied.
A dollar store near Flamingo and Owens also suffered wind damage.
Property owners in North Las Vegas reported damage to their homes at about the same time.
NV Energy confirmed 2,000 customers in North Las Vegas lost power after a power line went down during the wind gusts.

And Channel 13 had this photo:
Either that is a small tornado or an extremely large dust devil.
This is something you don't see every day (or month, year or even decade) in the Las Vegas Valley.
