The first Santa Ana wind event of the season hit Southern California
Sunday, bringing with it incredibly high wind gusts in some areas.

Data collected by the National Weather Service shows which locations
across SoCal have experienced the highest peak wind gusts through midday Sunday:

Magic Mountain Truck Trail: 92 miles per hour
Boney Mountain: 73 miles per hour
Camarillo Airport: 70 miles per hour
Chilao Campground: 65 miles per hour
Miller Ranch: 65 miles per hour
Escondido Canyon: 62 miles per hour
Saddle Peak: 62 miles per hour
Dough Flat Trailhead: 61 miles per hour
Malibu Creek: 61 miles per hour
Backbone Trail: 60 miles per hour
LAFD Camp Nine: 59 miles per hour
Mt. Lukens Truck Trail: 59 miles per hour
Ramirez Canyon: 58 miles per hour
East Simi Valley: 57 miles per hour
Malibu Hills: 56 miles per hour

With the strong winds comes the risk for wildfires; a brush fire broke out
in Camarillo early Sunday afternoon as the region begins to heat up to
start the week. Firefighters also worked to extinguish two other fires in
North Hollywood and West Hills.

A Fire weather alert was issued by the Los Angeles Fire Department due to high-fire danger as a result of the winds.

As a precaution, SoCal Edison announced that preemptive power shutoffs may occur throughout the Southland, with confirmed shutoffs in Orange and
Ventura counties. Customers in Calabasas were also dealing with public
safety power shutoff with the city saying on X, formerly Twitter, that a
large area north of the 101 Freeway was without power for a period of
time.
