The gusty Santa Ana winds have not only heightened fire dangers in California, they have caused a number of big rigs to flip over on Interstate 15. At least five tractor trailers flipped over as shown in one video shared on Tuesday morning.
The winds triggered red flag warnings from the National Weather Service for the areas of Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura counties. Along with causing travel disruptions, the particularly strong winds in the Santa Clarita area have rapidly accelerated the growth of blazes like the Silverado Fire, which grew by over 7,000 acres on Monday.More From AccuWeather
