Just days after a Christmas downpour, the Santa Ana winds are gusting in parts of Southern California, causing damage and downed trees for some.<\/p>\n

The Santa Ana winds were violent and destructive on Monday. In Moorpark, California Highway Patrol shut down part of SR-118<\/a> after a tree fell into power lines.<\/p>\n

In Orange County, a palm tree fell on top of a car with two women inside. One of the women was injured, through further details on her condition were not immediately available.<\/p>\n

“We were stopped at a stoplight. We were maybe five or six cars behind the light, and all of a sudden, we were starting to go, and the tree fell right on top of us from the right-hand side, from the hotel side,” one of the women said.<\/p>\n

In Buena Park, a canopy lifted out of someone’s backyard and got caught in the power lines. The fire department responded to the scene.<\/p>\n

“If you see anything caught up in the power lines, move inside,” said Quinn Collison with Orange County Fire. “Do your due diligence, call 911.”<\/p>\n

In Porter Ranch, the winds knocked trash bins over, and they slid down the street. Video also shows shopping carts rolling through parking lots.<\/p>\n

Another video shows a tree that came crashing down in Tarzana.<\/p>\n

Surveillance video shows a tree crashing down on a home in Sylmar on Monday morning. The tree’s large branches caused extensive damage to the home. Some crashed all the way through the bedroom ceiling.<\/p>\n

The homeowners said the tree nearly hit their son, who was sleeping at the time. Fortunately, there are no reports of anyone being seriously hurt.<\/p>\n

The National Weather Service forecasts 25-to-40 mph winds, gusting up to 60 mph in SoCal, including parts of the San Gabriel and Santa Monica mountains.<\/p>\n

“It’s been super windy. On the freeway, it blows your car across the road. So it’s been kind of, it’s been a little treacherous out there. A lot of debris on the freeway,” said Justin Lapresle from Northridge.<\/p>\n

Wind advisories and warnings that were in effect have since expired, but drivers are still encouraged to be careful on the road.<\/p>\n
