Outflow winds from thunderstorms downed several power lines and fifteen power poles in Hooker and west of Hooker with a report of two small grass fires ongoing. Power was lost in Hooker for about six hours. The downed power poles west of Hooker on U.S. Highway 54 and north sparked a wheat stubble fire. Then...high winds apparently blew a county equipment shed apart...opening a gas line that was ignited by a spark from metal or electricity. The county lost some pieces of equipment but most items stored in the shed were saved.
