"Northeast winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph expected, the NWS Hanford CA said. Wind impacts will primarily be for areas above 8,000 feet. Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result, according to the NWS."
"The NWS classifies them into three distinct categories: High wind warning: Take action. Sustained, strong winds with even stronger gusts are happening. Seek shelter. If you are driving, keep both hands on the wheel and slow down. Wind advisory: Take action. Strong winds are occurring but are not so strong as to warrant a High wind warning."
"Trim tree branches away from your house and power lines. Secure loose gutters and shutters. Identify an interior room of your house, such as a basement or interior bathroom, that you can take shelter in during high wind warnings. If you live in a mobile home, identify a sturdy building you can go to if the NWS issues a high wind or severe thunderstorm warning."
