A severe windstorm struck the Las Vegas Valley on July 1, 2025, producing gusts up to 70 mph and causing widespread damage across the region. The storm toppled nearly 50 to over 60 power poles, particularly along Tropicana Avenue, Eastern Avenue, McLeod Drive, Jones Boulevard, and Pecos Road. This led to power outages affecting between 20,000 and 33,000 NV Energy customers, with some reports indicating over 33,000 homes and businesses lost electricity. The downed power lines and poles caused road closures, including a 1.5-mile stretch of East Tropicana remaining closed, and damaged infrastructure such as light posts, trees, traffic signals, and vehicles. Flight delays and cancellations occurred as dust storms reduced visibility to less than a quarter mile, with the National Weather Service issuing dust storm warnings for the area. Cleanup and repair efforts by NV Energy and local officials have been ongoing since the storm, with power fully restored by July 4, though some neighborhoods and businesses continued to face challenges. Dashcam footage captured power poles collapsing onto cars during the event, highlighting the storm's severity and safety hazards. The storm also uprooted trees and caused property damage, with officials warning that repairs will take time. The event disrupted daily life, including impacts on senior living facilities and small businesses struggling with lost revenue due to outages. Additional storm activity was expected following the initial event.
