No high winds here yesterday in Los Angeles.It has been cool and overcast in the mornings with some sun in the afternoon. Windy weather for us here means fire danger, so yes I get tense when the palm trees begin to blow around!

I am about a two hours drive north of you (on I5), between Bakersfield and Fresno. Yes, winds and wildfires are a constant worry where you are. We are in one of the few areas of the state that is not in danger of wildfires, but we are fairly close to a fault line, so there is always something to worry about. But wildfires are the are scariest and so devastating!
