Mariposa County, most famously a gateway into Yosemite National Park, is on the verge of being declared a disaster area after a powerful windstorm left behind a path of destruction with homes split in two by fallen trees and roads covered in fallen power lines and debris.
The county board of supervisors voted in favor of a proclamation Friday, 5-0, declaring a local emergency and requesting state and federal funds to assist with the recovery effort. Now it s in California Gov. Newsom s hands to ratify the declaration.

A wildfire ignited in the Stanislaus National Forest west of Yosemite on Tuesday had grown to 70 acres as of 4 p.m. and was producing heavy amounts of smoke, officials said.
The Abernathy Fire spread in a forested area west of Camp Mather, a camp that hundreds of San Francisco families enjoy every summer, in the Groveland Ranger District amid high winds. We expect as the winds die down the danger will decrease, said Diana Fredlund, a spokesperson for the Stanislaus National Forest.
