The first Santa Ana wind event of the season hit Southern California 
Sunday, bringing with it incredibly high wind gusts in some areas.

Data collected by the National Weather Service shows which locations 
across SoCal have experienced the highest peak wind gusts through midday 
Sunday:

Magic Mountain Truck Trail: 92 miles per hour 
Boney Mountain: 73 miles per hour 
Camarillo Airport: 70 miles per hour 
Chilao Campground: 65 miles per hour 
Miller Ranch: 65 miles per hour 
Escondido Canyon: 62 miles per hour 
Saddle Peak: 62 miles per hour 
Dough Flat Trailhead: 61 miles per hour 
Malibu Creek: 61 miles per hour 
Backbone Trail: 60 miles per hour 
LAFD Camp Nine: 59 miles per hour 
Mt. Lukens Truck Trail: 59 miles per hour 
Ramirez Canyon: 58 miles per hour 
East Simi Valley: 57 miles per hour 
Malibu Hills: 56 miles per hour 

With the strong winds comes the risk for wildfires; a brush fire broke out 
in Camarillo early Sunday afternoon as the region begins to heat up to 
start the week. Firefighters also worked to extinguish two other fires in 
North Hollywood and West Hills.

A Fire weather alert was issued by the Los Angeles Fire Department due to 
high-fire danger as a result of the winds.

As a precaution, SoCal Edison announced that preemptive power shutoffs may 
occur throughout the Southland, with confirmed shutoffs in Orange and 
Ventura counties. Customers in Calabasas were also dealing with public 
safety power shutoff with the city saying on X, formerly Twitter, that a 
large area north of the 101 Freeway was without power for a period of 
time.
