Santa Ana windstorm savages Santa Anita..
 

Hate to see those trees go.

OMG! :eek:

I hope all humans and horses are ok. Sorry to see this happen.

I live very near Santa Anita, and have never seen winds like this. They are predicting that it may even be worse tonight.

Freak weather can happen anywhere...remember that...

thank you for that insight.

There were 4 over-turned big rigs on the 15 fwy and too many trees to even count down all over every county in the Southland, looks like a war zone !

That insight seemed to be missing amongst the "Santa Anita should be the only host of the BC BECAUSE of the potential weather issues other places" comments...

This is just idiotic. There are many reasons that Santa Anita should not be the only BC host track but to use this freek weather occurance does not help your arguement.

When did this happen? Tornado like event only in that small area?

The size of the tree uprooting is amazing.....

It's not a small area, it's all over L.A, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, pretty much all of Southern California!

Here's a shot I found of the tree that went down, displaying it's roots in Steve's picture above:

It's pretty sad.

Crazy thing is I had people that lived five miles from me and they had crazy winds but I had nothing.

Talk about not understanding the original intent...

It was a goof on the people who say the BC shouldn't be at Belmont because of the October snow, cold weather, etc...

If no one understands the original intent...................It wasn't funny:confused:

Wasn't intended to be funny, just referencing the earlier heated debates. Did enjoy your appearance on today's show, though.

I laughed...
