(The recent storms caused major damage in Imperial County)....Possibly the hardest hit was Holtville.

The city has declared a State of Emergency. Damage caused by the storms includes flooding, power outages, at least 50 power poles knocked down, thousands left without lights. A residence was seriously damaged after a tree was blown over, crashing into the house. The family was displaced because of the damage. Big rigs were blown over due to winds gusting over 60 miles per hour. Residents still without power are being sent to a shelter in Westmorland.
