Massive trees snapped like toothpicks, causing damage from San Diego to north of Los Angeles.

In San Diego, an 80-foot-tall tree fell on a car Sunday, killing the driver, Fire-Rescue Capt. Joe Amador said.

But the wind!
Lost two trees, one of them probably 40 or 50 years old.
Just ripped right out of the ground.

Saturday and Sunday in the San Joaquin Valley and LOTS of snow in the Sierra followed by cold weather which means the snow pack continues to grow. The reservoirs and lakes are still low but they are VERY slowly beginning to fill.
