Douglas County residents are digging out after flash flooding left up to three feet of mud and debris in some neighborhood streets south of Carson City. The Sierra storm that dropped more than an inch of rain in less than a half an hour also triggered the first tornado warning in the Reno area in six years. The National Weather Service says a series of funnel clouds were spotted Monday afternoon north of Sparks but none touched down and no serious damage was reported.
Flooding closed several major roadways in the eastern Carson Valley Sunday. Carson City public works manager Darren Schulz said several residents had significant mud in their garages but there were no reports of mud actually getting into homes.
