Gale force winds that ripped through parts of California earlier in the week, left clean-up and utility crews working hard to restore order.
Entire trees were uprooted-- power lines were downed. Officials say electricity was knocked out to more than 350,000 people in the Los Angeles area.
This gas station in Pasadena was completely destroyed-- the roof and structure of the building blown to the ground.
Weather service officials say the storm was produced by the combination of a low-pressure system that materialized over the California-Nevada border area, and a zone of surface high pressure originating from the east.
More blustery weather is expected in the coming days.
No injuries have been reported.
