This past week, Southern California has been experiencing some of the strongest winds it has had in a very long time. This article, found on KTLA's website, states that the windstorms are not over just yet. The worst of the winds started on Wednesday and reached up to a hundred miles per hour. Wednesday's windstorm caused thousands of people to lose electricity and power in their homes. Up to forty thousand people still had no power until late Sunday night when LADWP finally restored power for all their customers.
Weather reports show that strong winds will probably start up late Sunday night and continue all the way until Tuesday, including temperature drops into the low thirties.This article is important, because it is crucial for people to know about what is going on around them, especially when dealing with safety issues. Natural disasters can cause devastating damages if precautions are not taken. Many people were concerned with the possibility of spread of wildfires because of the unusually strong and dangerous winds that are uncharacteristic of Southern California. Los Angeles County issued a Red Flag warning from Sunday through Tuesday warning people that live in brush areas to be careful especially while outdoors and to report fires immediately.
