Crews continue cleaning up after wind storm

Wednesday, June 13, 2012

Winds gusting up to hurricane strength in parts of Elmore County during last week's storm toppled trees at Three Island State Park in Glenns Ferry.

Work crews continued this week to assess the damage and make emergency repairs to local infrastructure following a powerful wind storm that tore through Elmore County on June 4.

In some parts of the county, the wind speeds reached hurricane strength with gusts reaching nearly 100 miles per hour in some communities and roughly 60 miles per hour near Mountain Home.

It tore down my privacy fence and did other more serious property damage around Mountain Home too according to our agent and contractor. They said that they were pretty swamped because of it. Anyone else lose power for a (luckily brief) time?
