Tropical Storm Hilary comes to SoCal
John Demersseman, right, fills up sandbags at Palm Springs City Hall. He’s seen a lot of flooding in Palm Springs, having lived here since 1979.The region could see 2 to 3 inches of rain per hour, which dry desert soils can’t absorb, leading to potentially catastrophic flooding.Many residents have little experience of tropical storms or hurricanes, and are warily waiting for the storm, knowing that homes near washes and rivers could easily flood.
Demersseman said he’s most concerned about homes near the washes and rivers, particularly near Whitewater Wash which can quickly flood. Nicole Piña and her friend Andy Rodriguez filled sandbags outside Palm Springs City Hall on Saturday evening. While officials have warned about catastrophic flooding, Piña said most people she knows aren’t hearing that message.
The city told LAist no dogs are allowed overnight at the shelter, but they are allowed on a leash during day.
