High winds in California can bring down large trees, rip down road signs, destroy buildings, cars – and spread fires at an alarming rate.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From atmospheric rivers to record heatwaves, droughts to snowstorms, California experiences some wild weather throughout the year. Record breaking rainfall, dramatic wind events, and huge wildfires have shattered the average norms. Giant Sequoia trees were uprooted in Yosemite\u00a0due to wind, and closed the National Park in 2021.<\/p>\n
