Severe hurricanes are blowing in the region, and parts of southern California may be shutting down in high-risk areas.
Wind advice will be in place between the coastal cities of Los Angeles County, and the city of Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley, the San Gabriel Valley and the Santa Clarita Valley, from Monday to 1 p.m. The forecast is 15 to 30 miles per hour, up to 45 miles per hour, north-west to north winds.
Extreme winds caused the closure of the Antelope Valley (14) Freeway near Lancaster. The California Highway Patrol said 14 freeways were closed in both directions between 10 a.m. and Avenue 1.
According to CHP, dust storms have caused low visibility to zero.
Senior surf consultants in the Los Angeles and Orange counties will also be working this afternoon until 8 p.m.
The Orange, San Diego, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties may also guard against harmful nests. Those areas are under wind and high tide until Tuesday.

In those regions, deserts range from 35 to 55 miles / sec, and beaches and valleys reach 25 to 35 miles / second.
Sock Edison said Monday that some residents in Kerr, Los Angeles and Ventura counties could face wildfires if they were driven by disconnected power lines. During the worst part of the year, strong winds are expected to build strong winds on Monday afternoon.
Southern California communities are subject to high wind warnings until Tuesday morning. In the afternoon and evening, strong winds blow throughout the day.
In the mountains and deserts, winds of up to 50 to 70 miles[50 to 70 km]may be the order of the day.
Note: The Los Angeles Department of Water and Energy does not use efficient power shutters. The following are areas within the Social Edison service area.
Where can the public safety force be shut down?
- Los Angeles County 5,608
- Ventura County – 3,174
- Kern County: 328
Why does power shut down?
For the past decade, most deadly California fires have been the result of strong winds in high winds, including the fire that destroyed the city of Paradise in Northern California.
Add in the famous Santa Ana winds of Southern California, and you have a very dynamic situation. Winds can cause fires to fall through electric lines.

How does efficient interruption work?
Meteorologists and other Solar Edison staff use high-quality weather information maps and other tools to control extreme fires. SoCal Edison also uses weather stations, historical data and fire control cameras.
If circumstances require, the utility will turn off power in high-risk areas. Customers can receive notifications of local interruptions via email, text or phone calls. The utility alerts customers to first responders, local governments and power outages.
Here are some reasons why the utility should be considered before declaring a termination.
- High winds, including red flag warnings
- Low humidity
- Dry plants that provide firewood
- Observations on the ground
- Fire hazards in electrical infrastructure
- Public safety hazards
Customer notification will be sent about two days before closing. A second notification will be sent the day before, then notifications will be sent when the power is off and renewed. Rehabilitation depends on when the weather conditions are safe.
Why are Santa Ana winds so dangerous?
The hurricanes originate in the Great Basin by squeezing air through canyons and passing through the Southern California Mountains. They have a long history of burning wildfires in the region.
The worst time of year for wildfires in California is in history. The state’s 10 most devastating wildfires occurred in October and November.
