    I'll be able to after I go LT. I'm not sure 5" of lift with the stock bumper is enough

    It's pretty bad, but nothing has happened at our house. A few unlucky people with branches or trees on their cars though. :(

    EDIT: Here's a pic of that same gas station.

    Out in Simi Valley, it wasn't as bad as Pasadena, however, the wind was strong enough in Simi to sling roof shingles off of my roof and hit the taco. Left a nice ding on the front left fender.:frusty::frusty::violent:

    Oh well, at least I got that first ding out of the way.

    I'm working at our office in Pasadena (Parsons complex) and was greeted by a lobby full of branches and leaves from ground floor windows being blown out. Then, got to our floor an there were three offices with the windows blown out!

    There is still a lot of traffic lights not working, makes getting out of town really suck!

    Didn't see anything about 100+ winds "officially" I work for FEMA, in disaster recovery. Haven't heard if the state will ask for a federal declaration yet.

    my city is doing reverse 911 calls warning it's citizens that looting is taking place in homes that appear to be abandoned and empty from the effected power outage areas that has lasted since the crazy winds Wednesday night. i think it's time to bust out the weapons for a functions test and a quick cleaning!!

    Stick on hood scoop from Autozone.
    It wasn't a "storm", it was just very windy. Besides, people in Southern California hardly ever check the weather forecasts. :p
