Homeowners in Snow Creek prepare for possible flooding and mudslides as winter storm approaches
People living in the Snow Creek Community south of Palm Springs are bracing for possible flooding and debris flows as a result of a winter storm expected to move into the Coachella Valley area Thursday night.
The community could be hit with runoff from surrounding mountains and hillsides left scorched by the Snow Fire, which broke out in the area last September.
Today News Channel 3 will look to speak with people who live in the community to find out what they're doing to protect themselves and their property from potential damage.
Be sure to catch the full story online later today and tonight on-air on News Channel 3.
Captain Cordova added that rain is projected to fall higher up on the San Bernardino mountains at the 6,000 foot level. He says that means it will melt the snowpack and could add to the danger by triggering even more debris flow.
