Southern California residents appeared to escape moderately high winds on Sunday, Oct. 29, with only a series of minor incidents including small brush fires, falling tree branches and traffic crashes in a storm that is expected to last through at least late Monday night.
Kathleen Dunleavy, an Edison spokesperson, said the utility expected high winds in portions of Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, Los Angeles, Ventura and Kern counties.

The wind caused a Riverside Public Utilities power line to fail and touch off a brush fire that burned two outbuildings before it was contained to four backyards on Basswood Avenue in Riverside. Vanderhorst said burning palm trees are particularly dangerous because embers can fly up to a half mile.In Jurupa Valley, fallen Edison power lines prompted the temporary closure of Van Buren Boulevard between Limonite Avenue and Jurupa Road.Wind overturned a semi-truck along the westbound 210 Freeway just before the 15 Freeway. The driver reportedly was not injured.
