Anaheim Power Outages Caused by Weather

Episodes

May 12, 2014

Surface high pressure over the Great Basin brought very strong and gusty northeast to east winds and hot weather from the 12th through the 14th, before the winds finally decreased. The hardest hit areas were the mountains and western foothills of Riverside and San Diego County. The gusty winds downed countless trees, power lines and blew tiles from roofs. The winds also helped to fuel and spread nearly a dozen wildfires in San Diego County alone. The hot weather even spawned a damaging dust devil early on, before the winds really got going.

December 15, 2011

This upper-level low pressure system developed right on the heels of the last and became a closed low over the Northern Baja for 2 days, drawing moisture back into the area along with strong, widespread offshore winds. This system also set off intense showers and isolated thunderstorms with pea-sized hail (accumulations in Rancho Cucamonga and Mission Viejo), as well as several funnel clouds spotted east of John Wayne Airport. Most of the rain with this system was confined to Orange County, the Inland Empire and the northern mountains. Heavy rain was observed in Orange County and the Inland Empire on the 15th and 16th with locations there recording between one-quarter and one-half inch. The snow level dropped to around 3500 ft., with accumulations of 3 to 8 inches there. Bear Mountain resort recorded 12 to 16 inches. Strong winds were also observed with this storm, especially on the 16th, which was a more widespread wind event than early December, impacting all counties, including San Diego County, with warning-level winds. Several wind gusts of 45-65 mph were reported in the Santa Ana Mountains, the Inland Empire and San Diego County Mountains. Several trees and power poles were downed, leaving many without power.

January 6, 2008

A powerful storm swept through all of California with high winds, periods of heavy rain, and locally heavy snow. Strong upslope flow off the Pacific and a high freezing level fueled larged amounts of rainfall on the coastal slopes. The snow level fell late in the storm as colder air filtered in resulting in heavy snowfall at elevations above 6000 feet. Isolated flash flooding and debris flows were reported, mainly in the burn areas. Flash flooding in the Inland Empire resulted in one death.

January 9, 2005

Mudslides occurred in several locations in the Anaheim Hills area and City of Orange. Several power poles and trees were knocked down resulting in damage to vehicles.

November 26, 2002

Trees and power poles were knocked down in Redlands, Riverside, Tustin, Santa Ana, San Clemente, and Lakeside. Several cars and houses were damaged. Winds gusting between 30 and 40 mph fanned a 3 acre fire in Coto de Caza and a 7.5 acre brush fire near Norco, where three roofs of nearby homes caught fire. Three tractor trailers were blown over between Riverside and Rancho Cucamonga.
