Santa Ana wind gusts of nearly 90 mph in the San Diego County mountains force closure of a stretch of Interstate 8 to high-profile vehicles.
Dry Santa Ana winds out of the northeast gusted to nearly 90 mph in the San Diego County mountains before dawn Thursday and were spreading toward the coast, where winds of 30-40 mph were possible, the National Weather Service said.
High winds tipped over big rigs and forced closure of a stretch of Interstate 8 to high-profile vehicles in San Diego County. The tree — an 80- to 90-foot eucalyptus — was uprooted by the winds and fell just before 8 a.m. near the intersection of Balboa Drive and El Prado, according to San Diego police. The woman was pinned under the tree. She was conscious and complained of pain to her hand and head and was taken to a hospital, police said.
