Reports of widespread wind damage across Santa Cruz County and scattered reports in coastal Monterey County. Strong winds will continue across the Monterey Bay Area for the next few hours. It's best to stay off the roads, especially in mountainous/forested areas. #CAwx @KION546

Low pressure has consolidated into single vortex with a center of circulation just west of San Mateo. Given very slow expected motion in coming hours & very heavy rainbands training over San Mateo/Santa Clara/Santa Cruz Counties, flash flood concerns may commence shortly. #CAwx

I wasn’t going to post this as of yet, but I see Lake Powell is tending on twitter. Lake Powell/Page Arizona was my home for 27 years. Just 2 months ago I left my very comfortable job and moved my family to the south. Seeing the lake like this is gut wrenching.
