On December 1st, stories ran throughout the country covering the massive wind damage and power-outages across the LA area, and in particular the San Gabriel Valley. Pasadena, Altadena, and Arcadia were the hardest-hit communities, with my wife having to work with no power on both Thursday and Friday, and my in-laws without power to their home for nearly a week. In addition to that, there wasn't a street even in Glendale that didn't have this chilling somewhere along the path....
Not to mention the game of "find the traffic signal" that so many people seemed to suck at, and blow right through the powerless intersections. It took Glendale DPW a solid 5 days just to get this guy completely out of the way, though it seemed that by Saturday morning, most all of the major limbs and branches had been cleared out of the main roadway and off to the parking areas and sidewalks. Definitley more destruction that I would have thought, but hold on tight, because it looks/feels/sounds like we've got some more interesting weather headed our way!
