Pasadena seemed to take the brunt of it: lots of fallen trees, crushed cars, homes, gas stations... :sweat:

I heard the winds reached speeds of 97-100mph! That is nuts, dude. I don't recall anything remotely like that in last two decades.

Yes, a central tenet of spontaneous comedy: timing is everything.

The Santa Ana winds pretty much died down today. Damage is already done for many though.

A few nights ago it must have been in the 50-75mph after midnight...I couldn't sleep because it was so loud. :sweat: Didn't go to sleep until about 1am and even then I was still half awake because i could hear sirens blaring in the distance from all the emergency response vehicles that must have been answering 911 calls. In fact the wind was so powerful at one point I actually felt my house shake slightly.

Sucked man. Had to wake up a 5am, didn't get much sleep that night. :tired:

In 2004 we had two hurricanes whip through.
The second had the megawinds. It was kind of scary at points going out to take care of the horses. My mom was in town visiting, she has always said how capable I was since. :beaten:

We have discussed getting one before. But they are pricey and they wont run the ac and otherwise I have a large battery that can charge the laptops so I'm good. :victory:

Clear, sunny, and freaking cold: 45F at the moment. :sweat:

And it looks like it's gonna be that way for most of the upcoming week. :(
