Southern California felt strong winds up to 100mph last weekend that causes power outages and a mass amount of damage for nearly 200,000 residents. An additional 94,000 L.A. Department of Water and Power customers were without electricity. Winds did reach above 50 mph in some mountain areas, such as east of Lake Castaic, and strong gusts are expected to pick up as the sun rises and into the morning, then fade into the afternoon.
In Pasadena, where officials had declared a state of emergency because of wind, schools remained closed Friday, but city libraries and parks were scheduled to reopen. This relates to the mass movement topic we've discussed in class, because high winds in the mountains can cause the land to move in malleable, susceptible lands. My only fear is that this will affect the Rose Bowl. Go Badgers.
