If you felt like your house might blow away yesterday, you aren’t alone. The storm that battered the Bay Area Tuesday was stronger and more destructive than weather services forecasted.

Thousands remain without power. We’ll talk with meteorologist Gerry Diaz about where this latest storm came from and why it was so ferocious.
