Some people are unable to leave their home by car due to fallen trees blocking the street. Wind gusts of up to 100 miles per hour brought down trees and cut power lines.

On just a short fifteen minute drive through the area this reporter saw examples of the destruction at every turn. Uploaded are some photos from the streets of Pasadena.
