After an extremely windy night that saw gusts surpass 60 mph in several areas of the western Coachella Valley, all three major Palm Springs thoroughfares that closed because of the winds were back open Tuesday. The closures had impacted portions of Indian Canyon Drive, Gene Autry Trail and Vista Chino, creating headaches for drivers looking to get between central Palm Springs and Interstate 10 or Desert Hot Springs. The winds that caused road closures from blowing sand also resulted in power outages in cities including Palm Springs, La Quinta and the east valley.
