“Yosemite National Park will likely remain closed until Friday morning as the park conducts damage assessments, repairs facilities, and clears trees,” park officials said in a statement. “While some facilities have been damaged, no injuries have been reported as a result of the high winds in the park.”

High winds were felt throughout Northern California during the rare wind event, with Tahoe ski resorts closed, thousands losing power and 91-mph winds detected in the Bay Area.
