Meteorologists from the National Weather Service in Los Angeles have issued a grave warning regarding an impending windstorm that is expected to pose significant risks to Southern California. The forecasted windstorm is anticipated to be the most destructive since a 2011 event that caused extensive damage to Pasadena and the nearby foothills of the San Gabriel Valley.
The 2011 windstorm, which resulted in the downing of hundreds of trees and prolonged power outages, was a result of the seasonally strong Santa Ana winds reaching lower elevation areas that are typically shielded from such intense gusts.
