In another display of Extreme Weather, winds of up to 140 miles per hour have hit California - equivalent to a CAT 4 hurricane! It knocked over trees and windborne debris broke windows.
One expert said: "I don't recall something like this in recent memory," said Brian Edwards, a meteorologist for AccuWeather.com. "In some places we've seen gusts over hurricane force, which for the Southwest part of the country is not something that usually happens. This is a one-every-10-years kind of thing."
"Normal" freak weather or not, it is yet another reason to "armor your glass" to protect your property's weakest link and your family.
