Palm Springs gets pounded with rain: pics and video

Palm Springs got hit with a pretty big thunderstorm on Saturday afternoon. (Update: it was a record!)

At first, people were a bit alarmed.

It looks like the world is ending in Palm Springs

I'm always baffled by how roads flood to this extent when it rains for like ten minutes in Palm Springs! Are there no drains? ???? pic.twitter.com/9eOD1YRF0l
