“Armageddon”: Las Vegas School Had Dozens Vomiting In Halls

It's okay to feel a little queasy before a big test. But for the students at Wayne N. Tanaka Elementary School near Maule and Quarterhorse in the southwest Las Vegas valley, it wasn't a test. It was something far worse.

Clark County School District said that last week, a gastrointestinal illness spread through the Las Vegas school like wildfire, leaving several dozen (8 News Now reports it at near 130) kids throwing up in barrels lined up in classrooms and hallways.

In news interviews, some parents recalled their children's harrowing accounts of the mass sickening. One child said their 20 student class was down to about 10 by the end of the day.

Davis went on to describe the best ways to clean surfaces and hands to ensure the spread of the illness doesn't continue.

While it was the first full five day week for Aimee+Shawn, it flew by! Weird, isn't it? Maybe a four day work week isn't good after all.

The week got started with an interesting talk Shawn had with a friend from college. He was visiting town and telling him about a woman he had been talking to for a while. The more his friend talked the more red flags Shawn saw. Do you say something, or shut up?!

Aimee felt a bit attacked after asking for a straw at Starbucks. Simple enough request, but apparently the barista didn't like when she did it.

Former Las Vegas Aces star Dearica Hamby came forward saying her recent trade was due to her pregnancy, not her play. That got Aimee+Shawn talking about the inequities of pregnancy and how sometimes even women can be tough on other women.

Aimee made her neighborhood smile recently. Sure, it was by falling on her face, but the commuters around her got a kick out of it.

Philadelphia is an interesting place. First they slather Crisco on light poles to avoid crazed Eagles fans from climbing them, now this. They are actually considering lifeguard applicants who can't swim. For real. WHAT?

TikTok has another dumb trend, but it's one we can get behind. Apparently there is a movement of women who are hunting for their next husband in the aisles of The Home Depot. Not only do we think it's a good idea, Shawn has come up with a great name for the inevitable app!

Oh, and something about Aimee's husband literally watching her die slowly. She recalls the story of when she was choking on something, but her husband didn't jump in and help because of a technicality.

Have a great weekend! We'll be back Monday with tons of fun and getting one person on a sick flyaway to see P!nk! See you then!

She just wanted to suck her drink... but the person doling out the straws just wanted to suck.

Shawn got dinner with a college friend and heard a story so insane he had to interfere.

In the mood for love? Have a ton of expendable income? Do we have the app for you!

You want to let other people know it sucked, but you don't want to ruin a business either. You're not a monster... or are you?!

Aimee entertained commuters recently with one missed step.

Pretty big accusations from the former Aces star, and the team hasn't said a word about it. Not a good look.

Everyone knows it happens, and chances are you've seen it happen from time to time. Aimee and Shawn share their stories.

...and it's going away from Disneyland soon too! Our favorite ride!

'This is a real, actual story and we don't know if they realize how bad of an idea this is.

Sometimes you'll hear a track that brings you back to one exact moment from your past. We reminisce about the songs of our lives...

These three were so proud of themselves... only to have Britney Spears hate them for doing it.

Shawn thought he was a hero for calling 911 for something he saw... but everyone else seems to think differently.

You can do it... they can help. Makes more sense now.

Sure other cities have it worse... but it doesn't matter. Driving across the valley is the worst and Aimee's about to do it this weekend.

Imagine, Aimee almost died on a technicality!

Shawn is talking to his son's class for Career Day today, and he's nervous.

This crockpot totin' mama is being accused of being ultra-blanca for how she makes pancakes for her kids.

When Aimee had Jayden, he was a little gentleman. Then she had Roman... and he wants to rule with an iron fist.

Revisiting the TikTok trend, we had our AI write up the commercial for Home Depot's dating app that Shawn thinks should be made.

Your eyes do not deceive you! Today the valley got a surprise as the Las Vegas valley, from Red Rock Canyon to Henderson, got a nice dusting of snow that stuck in some areas!

Henderson, which is in a low-lying area, is less prone to snowfall in the winter time. However, today was an exception. Many areas around the city received a solid dusting that stuck to plants, lawns and even roads.

Usually, if any snow reaches the ground whatsoever, it will melt by early morning. But according to Fox 5 meteorologist Ted Pretty, elevations of 2500 feet and above seemed to get the white stuff. The lower the elevation, the higher the temperature, and the more likely the snow would turn into rain.

This isn't the first time this has happened. Only two years ago this month, snow fell around the west side of the Las Vegas valley that accumulated a couple inches in spots.

But to see the snow accumulate in Henderson? That's less common.

Every winter seems to sport a scant trace of snow, but a couple snow events really stick in the memory of locals. Back in December 2008, 3.6 inches were measured at the then-McCarran International Airport. The snow stuck and snarled roads, with kids relishing the rare sight and playing in the white stuff. While the airport only received 3.6 inches, parts of the valley were much higher, upwards of 10 inches!

But it was a storm that occurred almost 44 years ago to the day. On January 31st, 1979, the largest recorded snowfall at McCarran International Airport took place. A whopping 7.4 inches had the roads looking like a disaster movie, kids out of school, and a sight to behold in the valley.

Today? Today was just plain pretty. Take in some of the beautiful sights of the snow at Red Rock Canyon and bask in the beauty.
