LOS ANGELES (AP) - A commuter train line shut down when high winds knocked a canopy onto power cables has fully reopened in time for the evening rush hour.
Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokesman Luis Inzunza says the Gold Line light rail track was reopened shortly after 4 p.m. when lines were repaired.
The closure resulted from wind flipping a canopy out of a yard and onto power lines in the Mount Washington area of Los Angeles earlier Wednesday.
In San Diego County, wind toppled a tree onto a car in San Marcos but the couple inside escaped serious injury.
The National Weather Service says there's a chance of 50 mph gusts through Thursday morning in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Fire danger warnings are up in some areas.
