Willcox Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
A tornado touched down near Cox and Hamilton Rd, and moved northeast for approximately 1.7 miles causing extensive damage. One mobile home was lifted and moved off its foundation. Five people inside, including three children sustained minor injuries. The roof of another mobile home was ripped off and power poles were snapped. Two other homes were damaged along with a large machine shed-type storage building and several trees were snapped in half or uprooted. The damage survey concluded that peak wind speeds from the tornado were between 90 and 100 mph.
Thunderstorm winds downed four towers of a center pivot which was full of water at the time to tip over. The storm then blew the wood and metal roof off a commercial produce building for an apple orchard, with multiple pieces found up to three fields away. Four power poles, several trees and a tent were also blown over.
A severe thunderstorm wind gust, knocked several trees down and caused power outages in the Town of Elfrida.
A strong thunderstorm caused power lines to be downed in the Town of Kansas Settlement and small trees to be downed northeast of the Town of Sunsites. The strong winds were measured to be 60 mph (52 knots) by a trained spotter in the area and were estimated to be near 70 mph (61 knots) by another trained spotter.
