Rain Rain Rain

When it rains in the Coachella Valley, you can almost always count on roads flooding and streets closing. That's what happened Monday as the first of three winter storms forecast for this week swept through the area, bringing a record-setting amount of rain. Almost one inch at the airport.

The storm drains where I work filled up and began to oveflow. We were concerned that the water would start creeping into the storage units themselves underneath the doors. That never happened as the rain finally subsided and the water level went down in the drains. More rain expected today and tomorrow.

Jay heads home this afternoon. I guess he'll be leaving rainy Palm Springs and arrive back to the same in Seattle.
