PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) – Rain hit parts of the Coachella Valley this New Year’s day, slowing commutes and closing roads making getting around more difficult for some people.
Despite the conditions, not everyone stayed home.
Yolanda Sandor, Palm Springs homeowner, said she continued with her plans and attended Villagefest.
“I believe that we need to support the local economy,” Sandor said. “Just get out of the house after the rainy 48 hours or so. Just wanted to catch a nice breath and see other people.”
Officials continue to remind residents to slow down, allow extra travel time and use alternative routes.
