What happened
The remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel cleared out of the Coachella Valley, leaving behind leaks in Palm Springs. Tropical Storm Hilary had previously set Palm Springs’ single-day rainfall record with 3.18 inches on August 20, 2023. Homeowners are now reporting that repairs made after the Hilary storm are failing early, often due to ponding on flat roofs.
