About Milpitas

Wind Storm, October 22, 2000

Wind Storm Blasts its Way Through Milpitas

Dateline: October 22, 2000

By Ann Zeise

Several people were injured when trees fell upon them during heavy winds. Power lines were knocked down and several sections of the city were without power at various times throughout the day. Some new construction at the Pac Bell station was blown over. Most citizens spent Sunday cleaning up debris or helping neighbors.

A large tree in Ben Rodgers Park
A large tree in Ben Rodgers Park fell on the Grand Teton home of Fred and Ann Zeise. Ann is your Go Milpitas guide for this website. The new roof has a dent along the edge, and so far the fence has stayed upright. Hopefully, the City will give the wood to the Zeises for winter firewood.

Democrat Rally 2000

I got the chance to attend the California Democratic Party rally in downtown San Jose, and to hear speeches given by some of the local candidates and by President Bill Clinton. Former SF Giants left fielder, Willie Mays, was also there to lend his support. You may click on the links and on the pictures to find out more about each person.
