A local business owner assesses her damage following Hilary.

Homes, roads, and businesses were affected by the storm

When Priscilla Colby entered work, she saw water covering the floor in one of her private rooms. She says it came in through this door. There were also multiple leaks coming from the ceiling.

"This will probably cost us quite some money to get fixed," says the bartender at Roc's Firehouse Grille, Pricilla Colby. "It's just hard with the businesses these days; they can't afford to stay open. We're not getting the business because, right now, people are taking care of their own, you know, their floods, and they're not worried about going out to eat.

    Some businesses had tarps outside their business door, but unfortunately, Roc's Firehouse Grille did not. Colby says this is not the first time rain has caused damage to their business.

Palm Desert officials want to know the damages you have at home and your business. There is a survey on their Economic Development page.
