I'm Carl Azuz. We are starting today's commercial free coverage on the West Coast where wind gusts in the Sierra Nevada Mountains have been as high as 147 miles per hour.
A gust of wind swept over the parapet and Dr. Kerry teetered, clutching the wall. I stepped up onto the ridge so he could flatten himself against the buttress. He stared at me, waiting for an explanation.
It has burned more than 96,000 acres and destroyed at least 435 buildings, and hurricane force gusts of wind of at least 74 miles per hour or higher were whipping through the canyons.
