Someone we know with a child at UC Berkeley was telling us today that the child was ecstatic not having to go to college for several days because of mass power outages caused by Santana Types of winds that are hitting inland from about 29 Palms up to about Redding. The winds vary from about 43 to 44 miles per hour (that would be constant not including gusts) down to about 12 to 20 miles per hour. But, this time of year with a summer without any or much rain depending upon where you are, it is likely to have a fire if the power lines were blown down anywhere in these kinds of gusty winds usually off the deserts that we often Call Santana Winds that blow often from the deserts out to sea but in this case that isn't always happening (the blowing out to sea of these winds) except in specific areas of the state.
Here is windmapper if you want to see for yourselves a graph of the winds:

If you put your cursor on the arrows it will tell you where you are and the wind speeds.
