Got this in a email passing it on NEWS RELEASE – JANUARY 19, 2010 SANDBAGS AVAILABLE FOR RESIDENTS IN TWENTYNINE PALMS If you live in Twentynine Palms and you need sandbags to protect your home or business from potential flood waters during the winter rainstorms passing through the area, help is available. Sandbags can be obtained free of charge from the Twentynine Palms Fire Department at 6560 Adobe Road, or call the fire station for assistance at (760)367-7524. Wonder Valley residents can obtain free sandbags from the San Bernardino County Fire Station located at 80526 Amboy Road in Wonder Valley, or call the station at (760)367-3761.

The City of Twentynine Palms advises residents to drive slowly and be mindful of other motorists, especially during periods of heavy rainfall. Watch for possible roadway flooding and be aware of flash-flood gate closures on residential cross-streets near the flood control channel in Twentynine Palms. Better yet, if you don’t need to drive somewhere, stay off the roads until the downpour subsides.  

YIKES! Who knew lol!! 

I remember like 5 years ago me and the girls were stuck in the middle of the desert in a bad flood with big giant boulders rolling next to our car, we were so scared and they were crying thinking we were going to die. 

when is the rain suppose to get to us? I am suppose to work all day tomorrow but I'm not taking a chance with getting stuck down there! and all I hear on the news is LA..... 

This is when living at the top of a hill comes in handy. :) But that's great info, thanks Kerry! 

I see this being a problem the weekend I move :( Hopefully the rain will have subsided. I'm not holding my breath though.
