More than 1.5 inches of rain fell between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m. Wednesday. The total storm total is near 3 inches, but it seems more at Palermo Palm Springs. (For comparison, Palm Springs has only received about 4 inches of rain total for the season that began July 2010.) Indian Canyon Drive remains closed at the Whitewater wash. The news is reporting that flooding on Indian Canyon and Palm Springs Station Road has cut off access to Amtrak and Greyhound bus service. The streets of Palermo have big puddles, and the swimming pools are filling up, as the "final surge" from another storm hits the West Coast. But the holiday lights are still spreading cheer at Palermo even as the skies are black and gray. Miss Penny Lane says: She's calling in sick today rather than brave the flooded roads. Besides, the raindrops wreak havoc on her perm.
UPDATE: "Flash Flooding Warning" issued until 6 tonight for the valley. Lots of roads are flooded out and closed, or down to one lane, such as westbound Ramon Road in Cathedral City. The Desert Sun newspaper at mydesert.com has a link to the road closings and conditions across the valley.

Darling, we all know that lovely wave in your hair is natural!
The clouds are gone, and the sun the bath is bathing Palermo. All is good!
That wave isn't natural? It can't be true.
