Another round of Santa Ana winds pushed through Southern California on Thanksgiving, causing some communities to have their power shut off amid concerns of possible wildfires.
In Oak Park, a giant tree crashed onto Roger Gunn's home as he was getting ready for the holiday festivities.
"Oh I'm sure it's going to be enormous. It all depends on the bones of the house. We're going to be able to see that when an engineer comes. When you have a 20-ton tree drop on your house it's going to stress pretty much everything I think," he said.The power company cut power to communities in parts of Los Angeles, Ventura, San Bernardino and Riverside counties throughout the day due to the extreme fire danger.
He said they start to prepare for the possibility of shutoffs and notify residents if a high wind event is in the near future. Calmer conditions are expected Friday as a red flag warning is set to expire at 11 a.m. "We understand that's a hardship if we do have to shut the power off but safety is paramount," he said.His home was spared but he said the wind puts everyone on high alert.
