The weather service is likening the approaching windstorm to the devastating 2011 windstorm that pummeled Pasadena and and San Gabriel Valley foothills with hurrricane-force winds that felled thousands of trees, downed hundreds of power lines, displaced scores of residents and left hundreds of thousands without power, some for a week.
