Clean-up Continues from Sunday Storm

Rain and high winds leave path of destruction across the valley

Valley residents are cleaning up today, after storms and winds of up to 70 miles per hour slashed through the Coachella Valley Sunday night, leaving downed trees, power outages and heavy rains in its wake.

Reports of damage came from the Salton Sea through Palm Springs, with Palm Desert Police reporting numbers of fallen trees across the city.

The California Highway Patrol closed a section of Interstate 10 from Palm Drive to Date Palm Drive after power lines fell across the freeway.  The freeway was closed for approximately two hours overnight.
