high winds.

my, oh my. last night when i was driving home, i noticed the winds were really strong. we even saw something blow out on the drive home that lit up the entire sky. and then, the winds just kept getting stronger. back home it was craziness, and the power went out a couple times. then it went out sometime overnight and was out all morning. luckily, we still had hot water!

luckily, right around me wasn't too bad other than the power outage. saw lots of branches down, and one downed tree. but then the news was talking about how insane it was, fallen trees and no power all over the place. arcadia, pasadena, san marino and a ton of other school systems are shut down today. i grew up in arcadia my whole life and we never had a day off due to weather. then there are the horror stories of trees and telephone poles crashing into people homes or totaling their cars. insane. these winds are insane, and supposedly, they're coming back in full force this afternoon/evening. eep!
