High winds left some residents in Salt Lake and Tooele counties without power and with damage to their homes Monday morning.
About 6,600 customers in the Salt Lake area were impacted at one point by an outage after Mylar balloons blew into power lines, according to Rocky Mountain Power spokeswoman Jona Whitesides.
In Tooele County, several residents shared pictures of downed trees and debris in their yards, as well as knocked-over fences."I couldn't predict the speeds, but we've had 60-plus before and nothing's come off, and this time it's come off," said Johnson. "I picked it up and looked behind me and saw the three other long ones hanging there, dangling in the wind, just slamming the house when the wind comes through," she said.While it's a first for her, Johnson said it isn't uncommon to see her neighbors or those who live nearby deal with damage when the high winds roll through.
