Strong Santa Ana winds have quieted down fundamentally since Friday night and Saturday, however it stayed blustery across Southern California through Sunday.
Fierce winds unleashed destruction across the Southland over the course of the end of the week, bringing down trees and causing dispersed power outages.
In Azusa, strong gusts made a gigantic pine fall onto Elsa Morena’s home on North Dalton Street early Saturday morning.
“I’m having flashbacks of opening the entryway and seeing this large number of trees in my entryway and not having the option to get out,” said Morena, who woke up in the center of the night to the hints of the winds shaking her home and banging commotions.
She said she got up to actually take a look at where the came from however a blackout in the space kept her from turning on the lights to improve image of what was happening.
“The breeze sort of thumped me off my feet and I tumbled down and had a go at getting myself and I just heard a snap,” Morena said.
That snap turned out to be the gigantic pine tree overturning down, barely missing her child inside the house.
“I saw my life flash before my eyes for sure,” Morena said.
The eye-opening event has her family appreciative, including her landowner who hurried to help Morena and her son.
In the interim, gusty crosswinds up to 50 mph were relied upon to clear the Los Angeles and Ventura mountains, valleys and coastal areas through Sunday.
