We have been watching this run off here that has been coming just roaring down this wash that goes into a golf course. A lot of rain in palm springs and In The Valley where we are getting a couple of inches of rain which equals about half of what this area gets in a year. Authorities have closed a lot of the roads that goes over these washes. They did that pre emptively before the storm rolled in.
