California Wins to 80 mph In Second Day of Wind Disaster
Winds up to 80 mph raked California from the Mexican border to Oregon, leaving hundreds of thousands without power and fanning fires. In Humboldt County a windstorm toppled a stand and a store roof, killing two inside a truck. Power outages stretched from Santa Clara Valley to the San Francisco Peninsula, with 75 000 homes affected and major roads blocked by fallen trees. A fishing boat capsized at Humboldt Bay Bar but the crew was rescued and a Coast Guard vessel aided others. The Redwood Highway was closed from San Francisco to the Oregon line due to debris as a fire burned near Big Sur. Authorities reported about 30 000 additional outages in Bakersfield southward as dust filled the air from the storm system off the coast.
