Over the last few days or so, California has been getting devastated with high power winds creating havoc all over the area and into places in Utah and Nevada. Wind gusts were reported as high as 100 mph leaving hundreds of thousands of people without power, some of which are still without it. The winds also were responsible for creating fires and uprooting trees leaving some people dead along with destroying houses. The windstorms have been going on for 5 days so far and although they are dying down somewhat, many Californian counties are still under a weather alert as winds are expected to continue. The reason for these winds being so ferocious was due to the fact that the weather was coming from west to east rather than east to west and the winds were coming strong from the north.
