Winds Rock Top of the Town, Large Tree Branch Crashes Onto Parked Car 59th/California
| (April 25, 2004) -- Fierce afternoon winds buffeted the Top of the Town on April 24, sending a hefty tree branch crashing onto a parked car at 59th St. and California Ave. with such force that some residents thought it was an earthquake.
LBReport.com grassroots reporter Christopher Hicks says "the winds were howling about 4:30 Saturday afternoon." Mr. Hicks grabbed his digital camera and emailed photos on this page with his report: |

| It wasn't seismic...but gravitational.
There were no apparent injuries and the children in the neighborhood have not had this much excitement in quite awhile, Mr. Hicks reports. |

 After receiving Mr. Hicks' report, we checked the National Weather Service Doppler Radar (constantly posted on LBReport.com's front page)...and as of 10:16 p.m. on April 24 (nearly six hours after the winds) high levels of particulates were still flying in the L.A. air basin...with the highest concentrations at that hour over OC.
[LBReport.com note: Good job and thank you for the report, Mr. Hicks!]
