Street closures due to flooding
N. Indian Canyon Drive, Araby Drive, and N. Gene Autry Trail were closed Wednesday morning due to flooding.
According to the City of Palm Springs,
- N. Indian Canyon Drive is closed from Sunrise Parkway to Garnet Avenue.
- Araby Drive at the wash is closed.
- N. Gene Autry Trail is closed from E. Via Escuela to Salvia Road.
- Vista Chino is closed at the wash between Clubhouse View Drive and Cathedral City limits.
The Public Information Officer from the Riverside County Emergency Management Department, Shane Reichardt said road closures in the area are likely because of runoff water from mountain communities and rain out west.
"What we are seeing right now is we do have snow in the mountains, and when you add rain to that snow it can lead to excess runoffs," he explained. "That leads to flooded runways, and one of our biggest messages is turn around, don't drown."
You are asked if you see any large bodies of water to not drive through it.
The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians also announced that Indian Canyons and Tahquitz Canyon are closed due to weather conditions.
