Palm trees bend & sway as high winds battered the area of San Jose, CA. This was during a crazy wind event here in the Bay Area... The winds were strongest during the late morning & early afternoon hours this day. It also looked like a mini tropical storm outside during our church service. I really wanted to go out but too bad I was busy doing the media. Right after church, I quickly went out & observed the tail end of this windstorm in the afternoon hours… (Footage filmed Sunday, February 9, 2020)
*Weather scenario of this wind event:
Strong, gusty winds wreaked havoc on the Bay Area, downing trees & power lines, causing outages & prompting closures across the region.

At the height of the windstorm, PG&E officials said nearly 80,000 customers were without power in the region: SF-210, Peninsula-4,936, North Bay-4,655, East Bay-48,896, and the South Bay-21,005…

Rain deficits continue to increase as far as where we should be this time of year. “There have been times where we point to a ‘miracle March’ where we could see some significant rainfall, but there’s no guarantees…”
