Showing you how extreme heat is affecting one of Las Vegas' most vulnerable populations

[@PatriotLady62]

Yes it’s extremely HOT in the Summer🙄

[@MetalVentor]

You can get help. Rehab. Get sober. Get a place to live. Follow a few rules. Nah I rather suffer in the heat of exhaustion and have everyone feel sorry for me.

[@whiv]

Heartbreaking to hear about the impact of the heat on our community.

[@user-os9in9pe1p]

Las Vegas is no hotter than it’s ever been in the 31 years. I’ve lived here. Matter fact, I’ve seen it even hotter than it is now.

[@g-dcomplex1609]

Hey, it's only natural to seek somewhere cooler than the outside in Vegas during the summer

[@abrahambendavid.7474]

Ax, and Las Vegas No place to be homeless California and Denver

[@MathewHesson-el2gw]

That lady could have said it better. Las vegas is her hell.

We used to ride our bmx in those tunnels back in the 80. Good times but dangerous. We were almost trapped once due to flash flooding.

[@pearlsswine]

Literally don't care

[@WhyDoYouNotThinkForYourself]

What was the homeless situation like then in the washes?

[@daem3n]

@@WhyDoYouNotThinkForYourself There were a few here and there, not like it is now. There are small camps of people down there now.

[@daem3n]

@@pearlsswine LOL! Thanks Pearl. That's a great reply. hahahaha

[@WhyDoYouNotThinkForYourself]

@@daem3n im 55 sounds like we are doing the same thing except for mine was in Creeks where we built a track. The central park nearby didn't have any overnighters and one or two during the day and then you couldn't see them. Now it's everywhere and they sleep there all night. As a kid we'd roam and hide from the cops and there's never no bums, it was nice. It makes me angry to think where kids used to own now drug addict homeless exist. These teens life experience is diminished in a really pisses me off thatDemocrat 'kindness' is behind it. Later

[@charlesjones9243]

If you walked a 1/4 mile into one of those tunnels how much cooler would it get

[@MichaelInTheDesert]

SMH.

[@LouieArmstrong1244]

Las vegas seems hard to be poor homeless! There are expensive attractions tourists travelers from all over I hear the locals dont visit the city as much but just to drive through or taxi through. So the pan handlers better hope those tourists just arrived because if not then you would be like me going broke in las vegas gambling like me and 6 years later the same person who pan handled me at a gas station did it again just as I went broke again well actually my only bank card got canceled and those banks aren't in las vegas! Let's just say I had to dig out of the hole again and las Vegas has many holes in the Desert!!! Stay thirsty my friend! Then get that ice cold Beverage of your choice?

Triple darkness

[@ChristopherHedum-js8eg]

Graffiti tunnels. Wonder if that Solar and Omega/NMEK burner still down there. Old school.

[@jonecliptic]

Get off the drugs

[@WhyDoYouNotThinkForYourself]

Let them OD

[@WhyDoYouNotThinkForYourself]

They're breaking the law and they shouldn't be there in the first place.

[@godsnotdonewithyouyet6955]

😢

[@1331RECIPROCITY]

Dam tunnel people still living in their back in the day their was 1000s down their. First rain cloud in the sky they all would run like hell though.. 5 mintues of rain is 5 ft of flash flood.

[@MrJuvefrank]

Filming the homeless is not a good idea.

[@notanomad9320]

What happens when it rains and a bunch of people are in these tunnels?

[@paisleysansone3143]

They get flooded out. It actually happens during flash floods. Caseworkers try to get them out and warn them.

[@WhyDoYouNotThinkForYourself]

Nothing of value is lost

[@MrJuvefrank]

That's one of the dryest communities in the U.S. Rain is one of the last things they're worried about.
