After an extremely windy night that saw gusts surpass 60 mph in several areas of the western Coachella Valley, two of the three major Palm Springs thoroughfares that closed because of the winds were back open Tuesday. North Gene Autry Trail and East Vista Chino were reopened through the Whitewater Wash on Tuesday morning, while North Indian Canyon Drive remained closed. The winds that caused road closures from blowing sand also resulted in power outages in cities including Palm Springs, La Quinta and Thermal.
