Our local paper is reporting that the Humana golf tournament was cancelled yesterday due to the high winds. Several cars were involved in a traffic accident out on Interstate 10 and an apartment building in Palm Springs lost power after a tree fell on it. In Palm Desert, tree limbs litter the streets. We were LUCKY that our cottonwood and 2 large eucalyptus trees held up. At one point, I did think we were going to lose our huge mesquite tree which covers our front porch, but it remains standing. It's still dark yet and I may go out later with my camera for a drive. The winds were clocked at 66 miles per hour at the Palm Springs airport! YIKES! Here are a couple of scenes from yesterday, up on Highway 74, which I drive to get to my horses.
High winds are nasty. I like the picture looking down the highway into the desert. It gives us a good idea of the landscape and the road you drive.
