"Southern California Braces for Destructive Hurricane-Force Santa Ana Winds"

Santa Ana winds caused damage across Southern California, knocking down trees onto cars and homes in Burbank and Lake Balboa, but fortunately, there were no reported injuries. Power outages and downed trees were reported in San Bernardino County and Sierra Madre, prompting warnings from local police departments. High wind warnings were issued for various areas, with gusts up to 60 mph in some places. The National Weather Service expects the windy weather to subside on Friday, but residents are advised to expect downed trees, power lines, and dangerous driving conditions, and to secure outdoor objects.
