PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KABC) -- Large swaths of Southern California bore the brunt of Tropical Storm Hilary, including Cathedral City, Palm Springs and the rest of the Coachella Valley, where several roads and neighborhoods were inundated with flash flooding and mud flows. AIR7 HD surveyed the area Monday morning and captured footage of the damage left behind by the storm. The stark views included a trapped RV on the 10 Freeway, just south of Palm Drive in Palm Springs. The vehicle was surrounded by a thick layer of mud with at least two people stuck inside.
