There are transformers all over the roads and wires everywhere, power poles snapped in half. Basically they have to redo all of Wawona’s power.” I know we have glper's around this area...Bass lake & Yosemite. Yosemite was still closed or partially closed according to article.

"Yosemite National Park remains closed as a result of the wind damage. Much of it was reported in Mariposa and Madera counties. Wawona, and Bass Lake farther south, were among communities hardest hit." to check on status of our folks in the area, we need to hear they are OK when able! altho power grid is a mess and they have had snow since. Isn't there some wacky jet stream business hitting Cali this week too? Hope they don't get more of this. Sounds like from the article they were prepated to get hit again but it didn't materialize.

Spokane had a "historic" wind event a week before this one: "The windstorm that hit the Spokane area on Wednesday has a lot in common with the historic storm of 2015. Both Jan. 13, 2021 and Nov. 17, 2015 recorded a non-thunderstorm wind gust of 71 mph at Spokane International Airport. That is a tie for the strongest non-thunderstorm wind gust ever recorded at the airport. Both storms also left two people dead."
