Strong winds have hit Las Vegas and northern Nevada, causing disruptions such as traffic lights out on Charleston Blvd. and tumbleweeds on I-80. The wind has been so intense that a lantern was blown off a light post in front of Bellagio. Residents are advised to drive carefully and be cautious of pedestrians and bikers. The fierce winds have affected both humans and animals, with photos being requested to showcase the impact on the Las Vegas valley.
