Photos & Video: Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley see incredible flooding on Valentine’s Day

Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley saw non-stop rain on Valentine’s Day, leading to jaw-dropping photos and videos from across the desert.

Here are some of  the unreal photos and videos we saw on social media on Thursday (update: you can see just how much rain fell, as we have the rainfall totals from the storm here):

Baristo Road from the mountain down South Indian Canyon Road is flooded. Rain water run off from the mountain seamlessly drains directly to Baristo Flood Control Channel. Well, nature will always take its course. . . . @visitpalmsprings #abc7eyewitness #nbcla #cbsla #foxla #ktla #nbc4you #palmsprings #california #desert #socal

While in my attempts to take the less flooded/crowded way home, I was stopped at a flooded exit. Such a beautiful scene as people stopped to see Mother Nature at work. I marveled at the scene and took pictures of strangers while getting soaked as my limbs became frozen. Best adventures always happen taking the back roads. P.S. shout out to the random women who took my happy photos ? Happy Vday to All!
