Storm-Swept in the Neighborhood (Photo Gallery)
The strongest Santa Ana winds in memory downed trees and caused power outages, throwing us all a bit off balance.
A suburb is a mosaic of ownership—residential properties, businesses, schools, government offices. But to Santa Ana winds, it is one great landmass to be swept over—sometimes with disastrous results.
Wednesday’s windstorm is widely regarded as the worst in living memory—and these photos from Eagle Rock and Highland Park testify to the storm’s ferocity. Uprooted trees, blocked streets and power outages that resulted in major traffic tieups severely disrputed the lives of residents.
