Erie Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
A powerful storm swept through Erie producing large hail, damaging winds and heavy rain. The storm dented cars, damaged trees, killed birds and ruined landscaping. Near Jasper Road east of U.S. 287, the storm picked up a 40-foot grain trailer and pushed it about 200 yards into a neighbor's front lawn. The storm also knocked out power for several hours.
A velodrome under construction was heavily damaged by heavy rain and high winds. The wind toppled the eastern third of the 250-meter cycling track. Bolts measuring one-half-inch thick by 7 1/2 inches in length were ripped out of concrete footers while 16-inch-wide trusses, collapsed under the force of the wind. In town, heavy rain, around 2.5 inches in less than one hour, caused extensive street flooding. The intense wind also downed trees which resulted in localized power outages. In addition, an empty semi-trailer was blown on its side.
