Doesn't Phoenix flood from an average rain?

Vegas
Vegas has had to build these massive rain tunnels/sewage systems, because when they have a heavy rain event, it can immediately flood due to how dry the soil is and how rare it is.
If Vegas was hit by a Harvey I imagine it would be pretty bad.
Seems like a place like Denver would do ok.

LOL a tropical depression brought arizona to its knees, The remains of Hurricane Norbert butt farked them, and it was no more than a depression then.
they do not have the sewer system for heavy rains, and i doubt vegas does either. they would both be fricked.
Do some of you even watch the news???

Deserts do not handle torrential rains well at all. The ground is essentially baked and doesn't allow much to be absorbed so it all stays on the surface. The only reason Vegas might do well with strictly rain is because of the number of tall hotels that could be used as shelters.
