Did you hear about the monsoon in Las Vegas?

So I got home this week from a cruise to Alaska. I am catching up with my recorded news shows. You would be surprised by how much news you miss.
Several friends told me about the monsoon in Las Vegas, which amazed me. I then saw several news reports showing a monsoon in Las Vegas.
Several.
My reaction was surprise, since I didn’t know Vegas was now in Asia.
You see, monsoons are a weather condition that happens in Asia, not in the U.S.
Here they are called hurricanes.
And I understand they got a shit ton of rain, but I am pretty sure it wasn’t a hurricane.
Is this an example of undereducated news reporting expanding ignorance?
