Los Angeles Battered by Santa Ana Winds

On Friday, January 23, 2015, Los Angeles was bothered by the Santa Ana winds. These winds tore down several power lines and caused many power outages. Wind gusts reached 89 mph is San Fernando, California. In other areas, the winds ranged from 50 to 70 mph. It is crazy to think about how much wind can really affect a town's surrounding areas.

Power lines were also brought down in the Los Angeles area. This resulted in 9,000 power outages in the San Fernando valley. In the early morning hours of Saturday a tree fell on a gas line in Rancho Cucamonga, California, leading to the evacuation of 24 apartments.
