Uploader comment: Strong northeasterly winds whipped across southern California on December 26, 2015, dropping trees, toppling tractor-trailer trucks, and diverting airline travel, according to several local media reports. The wind, which gusted up to 60 mph (96.5 km/h) at the Ontario International Airport, also picked up large amounts of dust as it whipped across the region.
