    Strong storm topples trees in Fullerton
    • February 18, 2026

    Southern California’s second storm of the week brought strong winds and rain to the region, leading to trees falling on and damaging a home and car in Fullerton on Wednesday, Feb. 18.

    Thirty-year Fullerton resident Michelle Wedge got up to get a drink of water early Wednesday and laid back down when she heard thunder and lots of rain.

    “I thought it was hailing so I got up to look what was going on,” Wedge said.

    She saw a bunch of leaves when she looked out her back door. After her car alarm started going off, she went outside and saw that a tree had fallen onto it. “So I just yelled to my husband ‘there’s a tree on my car!’” Wedge said.

    A total of six trees fell around their property, said husband Tom Wedge.

    Another Fullerton resident, Vicky Aguilar, said on Wednesday morning she heard what sounded like trash cans blowing in the wind.  After her neighbor’s alarm went off, she went outside to see what was going on and saw trees all over.

    “My foster daughter stopped me and she goes, ‘look’ and rain was coming in her room,” Aguilar said.

    The fallen tree resulted in a cracked roof and damage to the outside of Aguilar’s house, she said.
